At the next session of the general
assembly OF: Geprgia a bill will be in
troduced by representatives from
Richmond county to amend the state
constitution so that any city may
have the right to issue municipal
bonds on so per cent of it's incoMe-
bearing property. A draft of the bill
has been made out by Mayor Dunbar
of Augusta by whom the proposed
amendment was conceived, and sub
mitted 10 the legislative committee of
the chamber OF, commerce for their
approval, so that it may be possible
to carry out the original policy of
presenting a bill that bears the Off
cial: Endorsement of both municipal
authorities and organized commercial
interests. Obviously the purpose of
the bill is to provide Augusta means
of raising money necessary for the
erection of a levee for protection
against future disaster by flood. The
assessed tax valuation of the city's
demonstrating property is more than
$1,000 900, so it will be an easy mat
ter to raise sufficient funds by the
issuance of municipal bonds if the
amendment is ratified.
