JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former Ga. L. 1937, p. 912, which was subsequently repealed but was succeeded by provisions in this Code section, are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Ferguson v. Randolph County, 211 Ga. 103, 84 S.E.2d 70 (1954) (decided under former Ga. L. 1937, p. 912).
