December 15, 1960

TO: MEMBERS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
We are pleased to transmit to you the results of a study of the "population" Acts which have been enacted by the General Assembly of Georgia since 1870. This study was made pursuant to House Resolution No. 495 of the 1960 Session.
In such a comprehensive

Lieutenant Governor Garland T. Byrd, the other members of the Committee, and the Office of Legislative Counsel join me in the sincere hope that this information will be of benefit to those who receive and use it.

t A-mtz - Sincerely yours,

terial. Since the number of Acts involving municipalities is much smaller, it was thought unnecessary to include anything more than the municipal census figures for 1960, arranged in alphabetical order.
In the event it is desired to determine which Acts affect a particular county, reference should be made to the census figures for that county. It is then a simple matter to trace those Acts which have been passed using population figures in that particular bracket under the respective decennial period. The Acts which have been listed under each particular census are given in numerical order with the county having the largest population being listed first.
No discussion of the legality or illegality of any particular population Act, or of population Acts in general, will be attempted in this Foreword. It is the policy of the Office of Legislative Counsel to inform members of the General Assembly that there is always some doubt as to the Constitutionality of such Acts. Although it will be apparent that many of these Acts are unconstitutional, it is believed that this feature should not be included with this material.
Particular credit for performing the detailed work involved in this study should be given to Sidney B. Shepherd, Deputy Legislative Counsel. He has been ably assisted by Charles E'. Tidwell, Deputy Legislative Counsel.
It is hoped that this publication will prove to be of assistance to Legislators, County Attorneys, City Attorneys, and others. December 15, 1960
FRANK H. EDWARDS Legislative Counsel
