Atlanta City Council Debates Funding and Reforms in 1900 Session
The new Atlanta council opens with organizational moves and clashes over funding. The apportionment sheet is postponed to Friday amid questions on Peters Street paving. Proposals include segregating streetcar riders by race, hiring clerks for the tax assessor, and a $200,000 water and sewer bond. A bid for city banks to handle funds is approved and a cannon gift for the Brumby monument is accepted.
