Sines mwos Ccunty*s population is less than
one hundr~ thousand, them is no Juvenile Bo;ud for
t&batcounty. So t&G, us provided in Section 4 of the
Juronllo Act, the county Court may 8of concurrently irlth
tie District Court,as a Juvenile Court, and upm 3p aeee-
meat betwocn the Judge8 of those courta, it would becka
the 9016 avenue Gourt for that.county.
While the Eannor of agresmcnt betnecn the Judges
is r&t provided by the bat, XN3?W%h61SS8 we think it should
be ovidonced by order6 of oaah, duly eutered upon the ndn-
utee of their rsspect~ve courts.
Any confliof ia 6. B. lo, 488 and 8. B+ Ilo.CQ
mat be resolved in favor of the latttw.
