JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, annotations decided under former Code 1910, § 2119 are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Slaughter houses are subject to sanitary regulations. Schoen Bros. v. Pylant, 162 Ga. 565, 134 S.E. 304, 46 A.L.R. 1480 (1926) (decided under former Code 1910, § 2119, subdivision (3)).

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Milk processor who sells only to military installation still subject to state sanitary regulations.

- Person operating a milk processing plant in this state which is not a part of or in conjunction with a military installation of the United States in this state is subject to the sanitary regulations and jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture, even if the person processes only for sales to military installations. 1960-61 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 4.

Whether violation of provisions of former Code 1933, § 42-406 (see now O.C.G.A. § 26-2-212) could be punished as for misdemeanor as provided for in former Code 1933, § 42-9908 (see now O.C.G.A. § 26-2-215) was questionable. 1960-61 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 396.
