Opposition to City Ownership Ongoing Framing of Franchise Revisions
The charter revision committee of the city council, chaired by J. L Key, met in the chamber of commerce to debate Chapter 16 on franchises with T B Felder arguing for an interstate commerce exception for telephones and telegraphs. Felder warned against provisions allowing city possession of private utilities, citing unconstitutionality and risk to Atlanta’s status as a headquarters.
