LOCAL INTEREST
In THIS CHANGE
BRUNSWICK INTERESTED IN
BILL TO ABOLISH JUSTICE OF
THE PEACE COURTS.

Brunswick attorneys and the public
at large are interested in the effort
to lie made before the legislature re-
garding the office of the jaw peas of
Georgia-that important attache of
the court house out in the country
especially. The Fulton county dele
cation, at the request of the local bar
association, will offer an amendment
to the state constitution so chang
ing that part of it referring to JUS
tices of the peace that Atlanta and
other cities of Georgia, if they choose
to do so, may abolish within their
limits the justice of the peace courts
as they now exist, replacing them by
centralized court, organized along
lines which the legislature may deem
wise. This proposed amendment,
which like all constitutional amend
ments, will have to be favored by
two-thirds of the house and two-thlrds
of the senate, and then have to be
voted upon by the people, is creating
an interest as wide as the state it
self, because every militia district in
the state, in the cities and in the ru-
raj communities. has its justices of
the peace secured in Office by this
clause of the constitution.

COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERN.
MENT MAY BE RECOMMEND.
Ed FOR sRUNswick.
Special Committee VIII Probably
Have aepe.ss 9esdy for Council at
Meeting Monday Nisht-Repon Is
Awaited With irterest.

The special committee appointed
by Mayor Butts some time ago TO look
into the commission form of govern
ment, viii probably render its report
at the meeting of council to be held
on Monday night, and while the re
port has not yet been prepared and
1t is not known what will be recon-
mended, it is believed that the com
niittee viii favor a change of some
kind.
The committee. or rather some Of
the members of it, have made a
through investigation into the va
rious forms of government which
have been adopted in other cities
and while the memt ers may differ
as to which form they favor. it is un.
derstood that practically every mem
Der of the committee is in favor of a
change Of some kind.
II was at first the desire of council
to get the recommendation of the
committee in hand in time for some
action before the convening of the
Legislature. so that. if a change was
desired, the necessary tiH could be
passed at the session OF the legisla-
ture which conyenes next week. It
has now developed that a bin will be
introduced in the house giving all
cities of the state authority to make
any change that they may desire,
therefore it win not be necessary to
introduce local bill.
The question of commission gov
ernment is now being considered in
almost every large city in the state.
Among the cities which have already
taken action and are fighting for the
plan are Atlanta, Macon, Rome.
Brunswick, Waycross, Columbus and
Americus while in many other cities
a change has been discussed.
Since the visit of the chairman Of
the common council of Staunton,
Va, to Brunswick a month or
so ago, delivering an address on the
form Of government in use in his city
the question has not been discussed
in this city, as the members of coun-
Gil as well as the people of the city
generally have been awaiting the re-
port Of the council committee. This
committee, however, desired to make
a thorough investigation into the 9TH
er various forms before making any
recommendations. 1t is stated that
the report will be prepared in a few
days and may be ready to be sumit-
ted to council Monday night.

PRISON REFORM
BILL PREPARED
SUSPENSION OF SENTENCES IN
MIsDEMEANoR CASES PRIN.
cIPAL CHANGES.

Bills to effect several prison re-
forms will be introduced at the com
ing session of the legislature and will
he supported by the prison associa-
tion of Georgia.
The principal one of these will
provide that all judges be authorized
in their discretion, to suspend sen
tences in misdemeanor cases; also to
suspend the sentence of a prisoner
who has served a part of his impris.
onment for a misdemeanor. In ad-
dition the bill will provide for proba-
tion officers and will authorize the
governoA to appoint a probation com
mission.
The prison association considers
that no more important prison re-
form could he effected than by Civ.
ing judges the power to suspend
sentences in misdemeanor cases.
State supervision of county iails
will be provided for in another bill.
This bill will require sheriffs to make
stated reports of the number and
class OF prisoners in their charge.
Two other bills are being consider
ed; one providing for state reform
atory for boys and one for girls un.
der is years of age, and another
amending the parole law so that an
officer may be appointed to look aft
er state prisoners who have been
placed on parole.
The prison association also thinks
that there should be an officer au-
thorized to make frequent inspections
of state prisoners to see which have
plausible claims to parole and to
bring these prisoners to the atten-
tion of the prison commission.
The association thinks that, owing
to no fault of the commission, there
are number of prisoners deserving
parole of whom the commission nev.
er hears.
