Macon May Get That Building Despite Taylor Letter
Macon may still obtain a new government courthouse as Congressman Bartlett reports that repairing the current building will not proceed this year. Secretary Taylor's Treasury letter had paused plans, but Bartlett continues to push for a new structure while Norton stays in charge at Western Union and a new manager is expected next week. Washington’s Birthday will be observed with a half holiday in Macon schools.
