Convict Reform Push in Fulton Camps and Postponed Bond Election
Fulton County commissioners expanded reform during a regular meeting led by Warden H. Girardeau. The plan calls for fresher food, a cook in each kitchen, a Bellwood camp mill, stronger flour and molasses, and sleeping quarters kept vented. Weighing on civic leaders, candidates favored delaying the May 6 primary to May 25 to combine a $2,000,000 plaza bond and a $750,000 Greater Grady Hospital issue, arguing a shorter campaign suits Atlanta’s welfare and the viaduct beautification effort.
