THREE BIG MEASURES
WILL Be ACTED upon
Establish Home for Hayward
Girls is First

Atlanta, July 17-Three big meas
ures involving the improvement of
penal and criminal court conditions in
Georgia will be acted upon by the leg
! islature this session. The first is the
measure establishing a home for wa =
ward girls; the second is the bill leg
criminal court judges and providing
for the appointment of probation Off
GERS; the third is the measure which
provides for Jail inspection and indie
terminate sentence, and puts fuller re-
sponsibilities on the prison commission
while vesting them with fuller pow
ers.
The bill establishing home for way
ward girls is known as house bill No. a.
1t was introduced by Representative
Mills, of Butts and Representatives
Jones, of Coweta. This measure has
been recommended for passage by the
penitentiary committee and, since it
carries an appropriation. has been re-
committed to the committee on appro-
priations. Hopes are bright that the
appropriation end of this measure car
be satisfactorily solved, as the expense
need not be all met by the state in one
or even two years. Some of it can be
carried over.
The bill legalizing suspension of SEN
fences and providing for the appoint
ment of probation officers, was intro
duced by Representative Myrick, OF
Chatham, and Cover, of Crisp, and in
the senate by Senator Tarver. 1t has
been recommended for passage by the
judiciary committee of both the upper
and lower branches.
The bill charging the powers and
responsibilities of the prison commits
sion was introduced in the senate by
Senator Foster and in the house by
Representative Lloyd, of Newton. 1t
has been referred to the proper COM
mittees and a favorable recommends
ton is expected This measure pro-
vides for Jail inspection by the prison
board and for indeterminate sentences.
1t provides for an apportionment OF
fines, so that if prisoner has served
part of his sentence the work is de-
Quoted from the amount of fine when
| he pays out. 1t gives the commission
authority to name the salaries of war
tdens as we'll as to name wardens. The
operation of this measure will tend to
Istandardize the prison system through
out the state, and thus do away with
many abuses.

satisfied that they will make some

members of the committee have
collected a great fund of informa-

that when they complete the work
it will meet with the hearty en-
