THE GEORGIA CRAQEER, SATURDAY OCTOBER 12, 1901.
THE city court
To the Tax Payers of Hall County:—
•I was approached some days ago by
a person having a petition askirg that
our City Court be abolished, and he
made the statement that his reason
for wishing the court abolished was
that it would reduce taxes. We could
not make a greater mistake than to
make the administration of justice
secondary to the 'cost of any court,
but wishing to know if the statement
was true I went to the Clerk’s office
and investigated the matter, with the
following result:
I found that this year the Superior
Court devoted tendays tothe trial of
eadminal .business, at the following
cost to wit:—r
36 Jurors (3 panels) for ten days at 72.00 per day
. ; $ 720.00
120.00
. 50.00
30.00
1,245.00

^gierifften days at 5.00 per day
Clerk ten days at $8.00 per day
’ 23 Grand Jurors and 1 Bailiff 26 days at
$48 00 per day * *
Judge and solicitor

Total cost of Court while trying Crim* -—
inal cases ; $2,827,55
* There were tried and pleas were re-
eeiyed in 52 cases, which divided into
the post- as above, shows that each
criminal case tried in the Superior
Court cost the tax payers of the county
$54.37 . .
While the county authorities do not
pay the Judge’s and Solicitor-General’s
salaries, the State does pay them, and
the county tax payees pay it in the
part that is paid to the state. The to

Total cost of City Court while trying'
criminal cases - ..$1,614.06
-There were tried and, pleas were re
ceived in 231 criminal cases, which di
vided into the total cost of court as
above, makes each criminal case tried
in the City Court cost the tax payers
$6.98. / ' ‘ '
A large majority of the cases tried
in the Superior Court during the last | close tomorrow,
twelve months were misdemeanors
and could have been tried in the city
court, where they should have been
tried, at a saving to the tax payers of
$47.59 for each case tried. If the 231
cases which were tried in the city
court had been tried in, the Superior
court, in addition *to those that were
tried in the Superior Court, It would
have cost the County the Sum of $15.-
3S6.71, and as our Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues only levy a, tax to
raise a little oyer $18,000.00 for all pur
poses, a little figuring will show any
man what the abolishment of the City
Court would lead to. Would the abol

we now have? Do we want crime, to
