The Fulton county commission de cided today to regard the salary act of 1911 as Legal in every detail and to pro ceed with the reconstruction of the county affairs in anticipation of the date of its inauguration, January 1, 1913. If one or all of the seven county officials affected by the act fail to fol low its provisions they will be haled into court on mandamus proceedings and the new ’•anti-fee’’ law will get its first court test in that way. Pursuant to this plan, the commis sion, in special session today, named Alonzo L. Richardson temporary coun ty auditor at a salary of $250 a month, with the understanding that Richard son, who i- to install a set of books un der the new law, shall discontinue his work in the event of litigation. His appointment is merely provisional and by the month. The law provides for lite appointment of a count} auditor nt a salary of $3,000 per annum. In deciding that the commission would legat’d the law act as perfectly legal and attempt no court test, <'hair man L. Anderson voiced the senti ment of tile members of the board when he said: "This board is an executive body pri marily -and it is our duty to proceed with the operations of this law. If the act is unconstitutional or a part of it is eventually declared unconstitutional, all tight; but our present duty is to go ahead and prepare for its operation. If county officers fail to live up to it or refuse us the information necessary for its operation, we can bring mandamus pioceeding and the court will get it for final decision then.” Tax Collector Andrew P. Stewart, who is already on record'as doubtful of the act’s constitutionality, was present at the meeting, but took no part in the action. The tax collector has said that he will sit tight, conducting his office as he always has until forced to do mltetwis'. H. takes this position be cause Ot Hu fact that lie holds a dual olfici and is answerable to the state, as well as the count! . According to Mi Sa w.i t. it will take him some twelve o e.gateen month- to make his collections for 1912 and gvl ready for the salary law.

JUDGECALLS CHILDCOURT CHIME 1 Grand Jury Told System Should Be Promptly Discontinued Under Present Conditions. •’The Fulton county children's court should be abolished as condition- now stand. It is a mere ini mix ■ to erim . If the county continues to ignore the court’s lack of facilities the law that inaugurated the juvenile tribunal should be repealed." This is the startling assertion .1 ud.g John T. Pendleton Hum- al mi-mbi V ; the grand jury today when tin ju:y'- i term report on the condition of county institutions was made. The jury, in its report, had deplored the condition < x isting at the Central Avenue Detention Home and recommended that the coun , ty establish a reformats:y for negro boys. “These recommendations are remark i ably wise,” said Judge Pendleton, "and : I expect to call the county commission's I attention to them. The affaiis of the ■ children’s court can not continue as i they have been if the w-lfari of tin county is to be conserved. ! “Conducted a- it is, the emir: is a in- ■ centive to crime. With no refo inatory to send its wards to. it becomes a rm r tribunal for the administration of goon i advice. When a negro buy appears be- fore the court he knows that we have no place to send him under the law and I all the judge can do is to say: 'Now, > please don't com ■ back here again: go i out and be good.’ ” j In discussing the Central Avenue De- > tention Home, the juty found that f whites and negroes were not segregat- d and .the children held at the home ■ pending trial were not -eparated as to • sex. The jury was under the impres sion that the home was a reformatory until corrected by the judge. . It was recommended that a new home f much larger than the present one b- I established so that a proper segrega tion as to both race and sex could le i maintained.
