NEW COUNTY DENIED
CONVICJJIRE FUND
Burjte County Not Obliged to
Give Up to Jenkins a Share
of Her Funds.
FOR SHORTER HOURS
FOR THE OPERATIVES
WORK MISSIONS!
Conference Takes Action on the
Question of Mill Em
ployees.
and
Unless Burks county voluntarily re
linquishes to Jenkins a proportionate
hire of convicts, thers Is no provision
of ths act to compel Burke to do so.
This rather peculiar situation cornea
of a petition filed with the prlaon com
mission by W. V. Lanier, county school
commissioner of Jenkins, seeking for
this adjustment of her share of tunde
accruing from convict hire or their
labor.
That was a dilemma that put the
commission "up In the air.” So they
put It up to Attorney General Hart.
Judge Hart has submitted an ex
tended opinion to the commission,
holda that the law apportioning the
convict hire to the county school funds,
assed In 1903, became effective In 1904.
he apportionment was according to
population and based on the census of
1900. The apportionment was mads for
dod of five years,
was not then contemplated that
any naw counties would be created.
Jenklna was carved out of Burke,
Bulloch, Emanuel nnd Screven. Jen
klna lnslata that alnca a part of Burke
goes Into the new county that its quota
of convicts ahould be reduced, since its
population has been decreased
Judge Hart clearly points out the
justice pf the contention, for Burke
now has more than Its just share.
But In the absence of an agreemant
between the officials of tha several
counties as to what la an equitable ad
justment of their difference, there Is
no power abort of the legislature to
compel Burka to give up.
In a number of cases of tha new
counties tha old counties have agreed
on this re-adjustment without hesitan
cy. Burke, however, declines to give
Jenkins any of her convicts or convict
fund.
