It now looks as though there was
a prospect that the 1f1,ce of NUM-
cipal Judge would be abolished by
the legislature. Representative
Tull, of Spokane, has introduced a
bill to provide for a police justice
in cities of the first class. This bill
follows one introduced by Tull to
abolish the Office ofmunicipal judge
The bill provides that one of the
justices of the peace regularly
elected shall be chosen by the city
council at the last regular meeting
in December of each year, to per-
form the police justice work. The
justice so selected shall receive
compensation from the city not to
exceed $500 per year, and the police
officers shall act as baliffs and
clerks. The passage of these bills
will result i'll large saving to
cities of the first class and that is
what the people desire.
