This 8eotiOn, Of course, does not aboluh t&b County Court of nraeos County. On the contrary, It mr.+ 1~ dlrrFtishes Zh@ jurisU.ction of that txw.rf, and the County ccurt as suoh ia ;I6 LXICJJ a part Cf t#~c? jucj,&ciq a5 before.
Sines mwos Ccunty*s population is less than one hundr~ thousand, them is no Juvenile Bo;ud for t&bat county. So t&G, us provided in Section 4 of the Juronllo Act, 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.
