Judge Grimm has started another
innovation upon the practice in county
courts. He has prepared what he
terms a Guardian Ticker" The
names of all the minors and insane
persons who are under guardianship
are entered therein under the appro-
pirate month in which the guardians
are required to file their annual &C
count. A close record is kept of the
time of the filing of the inventory,
annual accounts and releases and dis
charges of guardians, if any, and each
guardian is notified several weeks be-
fore the time when the law requires
him to file his annual account. The
preparation Of this book required the
examination of several thousand guar
dianship papers, but being now COM
| pleted, furnishes one of the most
| valuable aids to the court. 1t was
found that many guardians through
carelessness had failed to file the an
nual accounts of their administration
of the trust, and, in many cases, had
not even filed the inventory. The
| new departure will therefore be con-
| venience to the guardians in that it
will regularly remind them when their
accounts must be fled, and will at the
same time be a protection to the in
| terestS of the wards and the bonds
men Of the guardians. 1t is a prac-
tice that ought to be adopted by all
the county Judges in the state.
