JUDICIAL DECISIONS Constitutionality. - This chapter is not unconstitutional on the ground that it is in conflict with Ga. Const. 1877, Art. I, Sec. IV, Para. I (see now Ga. Const. 1983, Art. III, Sec. VI, Para. IV). Wheat v. City of Bainbridge, 168 Ga. 479, 148 S.E. 332 (1929). This chapter is not unconstitutional on the ground that it is general in its nature but not uniform in its operation, because it is made an alternative method

of procedure, and its application is dependent upon its adoption by a favorable vote of the electors, whereas the Constitution does not contemplate the enactment of a law general in its nature, the application of which shall be optional with the municipality, either under a prior local law or a local law enacted subsequent to such general law. Wheat v. City of Bainbridge, 168 Ga. 479, 148 S.E. 332 (1929).
