Georgia Senate backs state railroad protection amendment bill
The Georgia Senate constitutional amendment committee unanimously recommended passage of a bill proposed by Senator G Orden Persons to bar private companies from building parallel rail lines to the Western and Atlantic railway. If approved by both houses, the measure goes to voters at the next general election. The plan includes a parallel-track prohibition and a broader amendment limiting corporate powers to safeguard state railroad property. The move follows fears that parallel lines could weaken the state road and affect state credit and revenue.
