NEW OFFICES FOR
JUSTICES OF PEACE
To Be Situated Close Together
for Greater Convenience.
APPEAL OF BAR ASSOCIATION
Demand Approved by District Supreme
Court-Assignment of Locations All
Made in the Business District-Plan
Approved.

| At meeting of the Justices of the Su
preme Court of the District. held yester-
| day. 1t was decided to change the location
t OF the offices OF the justices of the peace
| in the District.
| 1t has been contended by the members
of the District bar and many business
men that as at present located business
was transacted before many of the JUS
tices only at great Inconvenience to at
torneys and litigants. Because of this,
committees representing the Bar Associa-
tion and the Real Estate Exchange ap-
peared before the Justices of the Supreme
Court at a meeting in general term about
two weeks ago and urged a change in the
location of the Offices
The Plan Approved.
The plan suggested was to bring all
'ne justices of the peace within an area
bounded by Third Street east, Pennsyl-
Vania Avenue south. Fifteenth Street
west and Street north. This plan has
been practically approved By the Supreme
Court. the only difference being in tho
numbering of two of the subdistricts-
that is. the interchange of the numbers
and 9.
The order approving the change will
probably he signed today.
