To Dispense With Register of Wills.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 dispense with Register of Wills.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The bill introduced by Representative
Latimer, and published in your columns
last Friday, to abolish the Office of register
of wills for this District ought to become
law. In fact, such a measure should have
been adopted years ago, and probably would
have been but for the personal popularity
and merits of the successive registers. The
last but one Of these. Mr.. ]. Nota McGill.
himself became convinced from experience
that the office was rather worse than su-
perduous in the present judicial system of
the District. and unselishly advocated its
abolition while he was the incumbent.
According to logic and reason, when the
old Orphans Court was abolished, and it's
duties were transferred to the Supreme
Court of tho District of Columbia, the Of
flee of register Of wills, who was the CLERK
of court to the Orphans Court ought to
ties transferred to the clerk. This was not
done, and ever since then there has been
the absurd anomaly Qike kite with two
tails) of one court of record, the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia, having
in effect two distinct clerks, with different
sets Of subol dinates, two different seals of
the court and two clerks offices. with du-
ties very uncertainty diyided between them.
the ncongruity becaIs iii more Se' EVIDENT.
That court felt that by 1aM it could recog-
nize only one clerk, one Tsesf and one clerks
accept the certificate 9TH register of Wills
as authenticating records bn appeal from
the Orphans Court HAnah Of the lower
court. and to avoid a tVinpaete deadlock on
appeals from that br$iieh ,ttale clerk of the
court has to certify atHe1 correctness of
transcripts of recordsoof which, officially,
he knows nothing, ana over the prepara-
ton Of which he has mo- cdatrel.
Every one will agree. thasjit is in the d.
rection of true reforni to1simpIify proce-
dure, and lop away Iefhess that can be
spared thus saving esopende to- the public.
Another advantage of the proposed change
is that the clerk of tie coasrt Is appointed
by the court. His oficB is thus secure from
too frequent changes ands too much pol
tiles, and he will be af alBltimes more I'M
der the proper controh Ind sdirection of the
court. whose servant aha is, than IS liable
to be the cas- sometimes with an officer
whose appointment and tenure are indie
pendent of the court.
The bill referred to would also tend to
reduce the magnitude of the fees and costs
which have to be paid by widows and Or
phans, as the clerks fee list is lower than
that of the register of wills.
