Macon council hears injunction over store encroachment case
At a Macon meeting the mayor and council were informed Judge Felton granted a temporary injunction blocking encroachments on a store lot at Cotton avenue and Cherry street by Ely and Ester. Deeds would have granted encroachment but for the injunction. The council also authorized a contract with the Macon Dublin and Savannah railroad to extend lines toward Central City park, with land rights to be granted, and vacating current occupiers. The extension aims to connect with the Georgia and Alabama Seaboard system within a year, potentially shifting competition from the Central.
