JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Presumption of compliance with statute.
- An order of the Governor appointing a surveyor to make a survey and plat of a disputed county line will be presumed, until the contrary appears, to have been made in full compliance with statutes providing for settlement of disputed county line. Fine v. Dade County, 198 Ga. 655, 32 S.E.2d 246 (1944).
When lands sought to be taxed by one county become part of another county, this status remains until there is another survey of line, after which the lands became a part of the former county. Kennedy v. Howard, 183 Ga. 410, 188 S.E. 673 (1936).
Cited in Calhoun County v. Early County, 205 Ga. 169, 52 S.E.2d 854 (1949).
