Can Sheriff Be
Made to Comply
With The Law

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. S.--Has the
governor the authority to suspend the
sheriff of a county for non-enforce-
ment of state laws? The question
may finally be raised over the enforce
ment of the new automobile license
law Sheriffs of a good many of the
counties have expressed their inten-
lion of fully cooperating in the en-
fOrcement of the law, but {. case was
cited yesterday in which one sheriff
has written the secretary of state
that he isn't going to have time" to
enforce them law, and nominating a
man whom he wants appointed in his
county.
Inasmuch as the legislature has
made enforcement by the sheriff a
duty and provided that he shall be
paid costs in all cases growing out
of his enforcement of the law, it is
now question for determination
whether or not the state authorities
shall compel sheriffs to comply with
the provisions of the law
The record shows that the county
from which the one sheriff referred to
has written that he hasn't time to en-
force the law, bought forty-eight au-
tomobile tags from the state last
year, for which it paid $240, and in
the division of the general fund arts.
ing from the sale of tags that county
drew from the state $422.59.
The question will have an import
ant bearing on the general enforce
ment of the automobile law all over
the state.
