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 1,245.00 409*55 250.00 '6 Bailiffs ten days at $12.00 per day ^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 Stenographer 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.

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.
