Pleasent Valley Seeks Annexation by Clayton County
A faction in Elgin and eastern Pleasant Valley township pushes a two mile wide strip along the township border to transfer from Fayette to Clayton County. A petition has been drafted and will be presented at the upcoming winter legislative session. Prohibition remains a pivot, with residents opposing local enforcement and preferring Clayton County alignment due to trade ties and local interests.

Bill Lets Supervisors Transfer Tax Surplus to Roads
The legislature sped a bill allowing boards of supervisors to move excess liquor tax funds from the general to the county road fund. In Suntt County a $100,000 surplus could finance road work benefiting farmers and city residents, bike riders, and overall convenience. The act mirrors the Nolan measure and directs surplus liquor tax revenue to road improvements.

Sunday Ball Confusion Over Anti Sunday Bill
Discussion in the legislature about Sunday ball playing centers on the so called anti Sunday bill. The bill does not prohibit baseball and does not refer to it. An amendment adding baseball and football was proposed but rejected by the house, leading to conference committee reports. The bill remains without explicit baseball or football prohibitions.
