The Atlanta Constitution August 7, 1899
Newnan Voted the Bonds
For Putting in a System of Sewerage 
Work Will Soon Begin

Newnan, Ga., August 6-(Special)-In the election yesterday to determine if the 
city of Newnan should issue bonds for the purpose of putting in a system of 
sewerage, the vote cast was overwhelmingly in favor of issuing bonds.  The law 
requires a two-thirds vote of the qualified voters, and of the 282 who were 
registered and qualified to vote, 240 voted for bonds and 15 against bonds, 
the remainder not voting.

Mayor A R BURDETT has already received many inquires and offers to buy the 
bonds, and they will be readily disposed of at a handsome price.  The mayor 
and council have determined to vigorously push the sewerage matter, and some 
time during the coming winter the piping will be laid and the system set up.
