Two New Counties Proposed by House Committee
The house committee on constitutional amendments on Tuesday proposed creation of two new counties and unfavorable reports on two others. Treutlen County would be carved from Montgomery and Emanuel with Soperton as seat. The Axson plan would form a new county combining Atkinson territory, shifting its name to Atkinson. The Pearson site Willacoochee may be chosen after elections. The proposals require passage by both houses, governor’s signature, and popular approval before creation.
