surprise to many TIE convention and formation

JOKER IN MAGISTRATES BILL.
1t Is Said to Favor Philip Block, Secretary
of the Board.

Agitation against the measure permitting the
ATavor to appoint two additional city magis-
trates which is still in the hands of Mayor Lo"
for his signature continues to increase. II Is
understood that committee Of representative
lawyers is to address the Mayor on TINS SUI
iect at public hearing this week ASIDE Iroiii
the general objection that the two addltlonal
magistrates are not needed at present, an arGu-
rnent which is advanced by those who are
familiar with the present condition of the police
courts It is further pointed out that the
present measure contains a remarkable joker,
which is likely to cause the Mayor to veto H.
addition to tie usual requirement that to be
eligible for appointment man must have been
engaged in active practice of law for five years,
a man who has served as secretary for seven
years may be appointed. Those who are ac-
uuainted with the real intention of this joker
declare that it favors Philip Block, who is
secretary OF the Board of Magistrates. 1t was
intimated on credible authority yesterday
that this joker would result in the defeat Of the
measure and insure the Mayors veto.
The contention that the need for the new
magistrates at the present time does not exist
is well shown in the following statement of a
reputab BILE lawyer who has constant occasion to
work In these courts.
''I cannot believe" said the lawyer yesterday,
that the magistrates are overwor1ed at present
They have, by arrangement, about ten days OFT
in each month; they have a summer vacation,
and yet they are constantly pleading overwork
and alleging that they cannot work continuous

increase in their number"
