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.
