L. 1874, pp. 117 (§ 4), 120 (§ 16), 146 (§ 141); Ga. L. 1890,91, vol. 2, p. 454, § 4.

2. An ordinance of the City of Atlanta declares, in part: “It shall be un- , lawful for any person to be and appear on the streets of said city in • an intoxicated condition; and any person so offending shall, on conviction thereof before the recorder of said city, pay a fine of not exceeding one hundred dollars, or be imprisoned not longer than thirty days, either or both in the discretion of the court.” City Code of Atlanta (1910), § 1766. Another ordinance declares: “When any person is convicted of an offense against the laws and ordinances of the city before the Recorder, or Mayor, or Mayor pro tern., or other presiding officer, it shall be discretionary with the court to punish such offenses [offenders] by ■ ordering them to work on the streets or public works of the city, under the supervision of the proper officer; and payment of all fines not otherwise paid may be enforced by work as aforesaid.” City Code of Atlanta (1910), § 926. Held: The provision in section 1766, that a person convicted of a violation of that ordinance shall “pay a fine of not exceeding one hundred dollars, or be imprisoned not longer " than thirty days, either or both in the discretion of the court,” is to be construed in connection with the provision of section 926, supra, that it ■ is discretionary with the court to punish persons convicted of any offenses against the laws and ordinances of the city, “by ordering them to work on the streets or public works of the city, under the supervision of the proper officer.” So construed, the two ordinances authorize the punishment of a person convicted of appearing on the streets of the city in an intoxicated condition, in violation of section 1766, supra,’by ■ a sentence of the recorder requiring him to serve twenty-nine days on the public works of the city, without any alternative.
