State bonds and railroad debt reform urged in comptroller report
The comptroller general urges action to protect public credit noting past mismanagement by agents, taxes rising as property values grow, and outstanding bonds of the late administration. He recommends withdrawing questionable bonds and issuing new state bonds to redeem company bonds, plus measures to ensure accountability and settlement with agents. The report details rail line ownership, costs, and state-indorsed bonds tied to Macon and Brunswick and other companies, arguing for fiscal safeguards and restructuring.
