Georgia creates county road system with elected commissioners
The act establishes a new system of working public roads in Georgia counties. Grand juries elect five road commissioners for four years, with terms and duties defined, including road maintenance, budgeting, and the option of a commutation tax. The measure outlines superintendent powers, district commissioners, convict labor rules, road standards, and penalties for noncompliance, effective upon approval.
