Blalock Resolution Aims to Use Public Property Fund
In Georgia on November 18 1901 the Blalock resolution moves to divert part of the 444 208 public property fund to cover next year’s interest on state bonds totaling 325 880, a use upheld by supreme court decisions as the fund’s sole lawful purpose. The measure argues lower taxes if interest is paid from the fund, while critics warn of political contention over the money and urge adherence to legal limits.
