Talbotton Ga June 7 Judge C F McLaughlin of the Chattahoochee circuit refuses to validate the Woodland consolidated school district 30000 bond issue because the registration list counted 287 voters after removing underage voters and oath requirements. Although 144 voted yes the apparent majority is not legally sufficient, and trustees may seek another election to re submit the bonds.
