the members as to the proposed changes in the
judiciary system of our State. They were
unanimously in favor Of what is called clean
Court OF Error and Appeals that is Judge who
has rendered decision in the Court below shall
have no voice in this Court. They are opposed

ment for Is years with limitation as to age, some
favoring fixing the limit at 65 and others at 20.

ing it. There was alSo strong sentiment In
