Coroners throughout the State will
| be pleased to learn that the bill to pro
vide for the pay and mileage of coron-
ers and deputies for viewing dead
| body where no inquest is held has pass
ed the Legislature and received the
Governors signature Heretofore the
| law did not allow pay for such service,
| and this undoubtedly led to the holding
of many unnecessary inquests. The
new law adequately compensates the
| coroner, and will also be the means of
saving the county the expense of need
| less inquests.
