There is sentiment among the Republican
Senators and Assembymen in opposition to
the plan Of abolshing the fee system of com
prnsating the Clerk in thHncery and Clerk OF

that the Legislature last year reduced the fees
by 40 per cent but as the new law cannot be
effective during the terms of the incum-
reduction works. The Chancery Clerkship is
worth close to SEQ. 900 n year. and the SUI

but little public discussion of tho matter, as
there is danger that Gov.-elect iiriggs will In
form declarations shall be carried ONT strictly
and that he will give no intimation of what he
intends to do.
