Georgia Hydro Electric Power Bills Threaten State Debt
In the 1920 Georgia General Assembly two constitutional amendments propose creating a Hydro Electric Power Commission to condemn and acquire public utilities such as water works and street railways. The plan would allow counties and towns to exceed debt limits to fund the commission, issuing bonds that would mortgage homes and farms across the state. Copies of the bills are available by mailing name and address.
