Cross references. - County surveyor’s fees, § 36-7-9. OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL Section not in conflict with § 36-7-9. - There does not appear to be any conflict between former Code 1933, §§ 23-1109 and 85-1610 (see O.C.G.A. § 36-7-9 and 44-4-10), but, even if there were one, former Code 1933, § 23-1109, being based upon a more recent statute, would apparently govern. 1971 Op.
