Debates Over Western and Atlantic Rail Commission Bill Opens

The House debates the substitute for a measure to manage the Western and Atlantic railroad. Swift argues for prompt creation of a commission with broad powers and specific personnel, while amendments seek to alter or limit membership and authority. Other near-term actions include deferral of adjournment, approval of deficiency and special appropriations, and scrutiny of audits and station funding amid broader budget fights.

State Experiment Station Bill Faces Reconsideration in House

In a tense debate the appropriation for the State Experiment Station survived initial cuts but failed to pass due to lack of a constitutional majority. The bill originally provided six thousand dollars for 1915 and 1917, with four thousand for repairs and operations and one thousand to defray board meeting expenses. Reeves of Screven tried to table, but the motion failed as supporters fought to ensure funding while critics argued the station had outlived its usefulness, with the bill ultimately lost. Separately, a resolution to fund an extraordinary session was advanced and then reported to the House. The afternoon featured a floor vote on tabling the bill, which failed. The session also included a public probe of member conduct, with a resolution proposing an investigation into JD Brown of Wheeler County for alleged intoxicated conduct, later tabled.
