Because Cases Are so Far Behind.

They agree that an additional Judge
Is needed in this subdivision. The
hope is general that Senator Wight

number of interviews OH the natter
City Solicitor Osborn Esgate, said:
The young lawyers are all In favor Of
an additional judge. We are now 600
cnses behind, equivalent to 21a years
work. 1t takes so long for young ut
torney to get his cases heard. that
starvation often stares him In the face.
We certainly need another judge to
dispose of the back cases and hereaf-
ter keep the docket up-to-date."
Attorney Henry NJ. Hagelbarger
sald ''rhere is no question but what
another Judge Is needed, to handle the
work that comes UP in court in this
subdivision. l believe that Senator
Wightman's bill will he passed. The
measure was defeated before on ac-
count of our Senator and Representa-
tives not being able to agree upon the
matter. The additional judgship will
entail no expense upon the county as
salaries of judges are paid from the
state treasury"
Judge II. w. Stuart said: 1--WE need
an additional judge In this subdivision.
Summit and Loraln counties are grow
Ing rapidly. We at least need an extra
judge until we catch up with our cases.
Then possibly the law might be repeal

we need another judge" said he. II
