Fight over dual office for Dr Bizzell in Atlanta politics
City hall buzzes as Dr B W Bizzell, newly elected board of health member and county physician, faces scrutiny over holding two official posts. Critics cite city charter rules barring simultaneous federal state or county offices and multiple city boards. Bizzell denies stepping down, vows to contest any move to remove him, and cites County Attorney Rosser’s similar dual role. The council and city attorney may weigh legality, with no clear outcome yet.

Order of Election for Georgia Militia Set for Feb 1
State orders issued at the capitol require elections of all militia officers on February 1 at armories statewide. Old lines elect field officers, while company officers are chosen from enlisted men. Re-elected officers avoid new exams, terms run three years, and the act repeals prior provision with pay scales and duties outlined.
