NEW COUNTY DENIED
CONVICTJRE FUND
Burke County Not Obliged to
Give Up to Jenkins a Share
of Her Funds.
Unless Burke county voluntarily re.
Ilnqulshes to Jenkins ft proportionate
share of the funds arising from the
hire of convicts, there Is no provision
of the act to hompel Burke to do so.
This rather peculiar situation comes
of a petition filed with the prison com.
mission by W. V. Lanier, county school
commissioner of Jenklna, seeking for
this adjustment of her ihare of funds
accruing from convict hire or their
labor.
That was a dilemma that put the
commission "up In the air." Bo they
put It up to Attorney General Hart.
" ' re Hart has submitted an t
opinion to the commission. He
holds that th* law apportioning the
convict hire to the county school funds,
id In 1901, became effective In 1904.
apportionment was according to
population and baaed on the census of
1900. The apportionment was mads for
rlod of five years,
was not then contemplated that
any new counties would be created.
Jenkins was carved out of Burke,
Bulloch, Emanuel and Screven. Jen
kins insists that since a part of Burke
goes Into th* new county that Us quota
of convicts should b# reduced, sine* its
population haa been decreased.
Judge Hart clearly point* out the
Justice of the contention, for Burke
now has mors than Its Just share.
But In th* absence of an agreement
between th* official* of the several
counties as to what Is an equitable ad
justment of their difference, there la
no power short of the legislature to
compel Burke to give up.
In a number of case* of the new
countie* the old counties have agreed
on this re-adjustment without hesitan
cy. Burke, however, declines to give
Jenkins any of her convict* or convict
fund.
