Legislature and the Plaza in Atlanta Civic Center Plan
The general assembly faces a business proposition to authorize use of right of way in the Western and Atlantic railroad to reconstruct terminals and a civic center over the present union station site. In about twenty years the new building may revert to Georgia, with rental and track rights revenues promising substantial returns. The plan shifts costs to business men and railroads, offering the state a future dividend without direct spending, and the assembly appears favorable.

Georgia Peach Prices Highlight Georgia Texas Gap
G J S Walker of Brollard Texas asks why Georgia peach prices are higher as Georgia Fruit Exchange markets about 60 percent of the Georgia crop. On July 11, 54 car loads ranged from 43 cents to 1.17 dollars per crate, with an average near 85 cents. Factors include yield, rains lowering early-grade fruit, and Georgia packs more baskets per crate. The Constitution credits organization and the Georgia Peach Exchange’s formation in 1908 for higher prices, contrasting with Texas being unorganized.
