The board, contentious for months, agreed no chairman would be chosen without full attendance, delaying Atlanta’s leadership by another month.

Beavers elects Butler as patrolman on first ballot
Beavers nominated three patrolmen for election by the board. The names submitted were Jamison Butler and West. On the first ballot Butler was elected, receiving eight votes to two for Jamison and West none. Commissioner Baskin was not in his seat at the time. This month no charges were preferred against any police member by disgruntled citizens, as Atlanta officers made hundreds of arrests with none prompting complaints.
