Attorney General Decisions On Juvenile And Tax Matters
Illinois state notes from the attorney general include opinions that a county judge cannot sentence a boy under 18 to the state reformatory for disorderly conduct, but under the juvenile court act a delinquent under 17 may be sent to the state home at St Charles. A girl under 18 may be committed to the home for juvenile female offenders. Another opinion holds that renting a room below a saloon for a public entertainment can amount to constructive eviction if the building’s use reduces the military company’s room value. K Company of the Fourth Infantry at Cairo rented upstairs. lower floor later leased to a saloon. An employment office head lacks power to force a work-for-commitment deal. A Chicago free transportation issue noted men sent to Cairo may desert. Tax levies may be made only in September. Monroe county voters approved a levy for county courthouse repairs, with the State’s Attorney asking if it can be made now or must wait.
