Opinion:
Undercoeler, Justice.
The Court of Appeals has jurisdiction to decide questions of law that involve the application, in a general sense, of unquestioned and unambiguous provisions of the Constitution to a given state of facts and that do not involve construction of some constitutional provision directly in question and doubtful either under its own terms or under the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia or the Supreme Court of the United States. Gulf Paving Co. v. City of Atlanta, 149 Ga. 114 (99 SE 374); Dade County v. State of Ga., 201 Ga. 241, 244 (39 SE2d 473); Wiggins v. City of Macon, 224 Ga. 603 (163 SE2d 747).
Since the constitutional questions presented in this appeal do not involve the construction of some constitutional provisions directly in question and doubtful either under its own terms or under the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia or the Supreme Court of the United States, this appeal is
Transferred to the Court of Appeals.
All the Justices concur.
