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.
