Grand jury urges reforms in Fulton County money lending justice system
The grand jury finds a wide money lending network linked to justice offices, detailing exorbitant interest rates, 250 to 3500 percent yearly, and abusive chattel mortgages and salary assignments. It calls for a bill regulating small loans, improved county records fire protection, road and bridge upgrades, school funding, and a shift toward county control of the industrial farm and higher accountability for public officers. The report approves modernization of roads, bridges, and public facilities, notes sanitary issues at Ethel Street School, and endorses stronger fireproofing for county records.
