THE FEE TABLE.

OF claim for jury trial from the district
court or for cause originally entered IN
the superior court was fixed by the com
mission at So but the house committee
fixed the fee IN such cases at 81 the same
as in the district court.
The commission provided for no probate
fees for estates under 5000. ThA house
committee provided that the limit Should
be 500. No change was made in the sal
aries of the justices or the supreme court
and of the superior court
DISTRICT COURT SESSIONS.
The district court In this city VIII hold
civil sessions on Monday, "Wednesday and
Thursdays. This is the addition or one
day TO that recommended by the COM
mission and ~ valuable amendment
II was proposed by the commission that
the probate clerk OF Providence should
pn only one-third of the fees received by
him while In all probate jurisdictions the
clerks were 20 pay one-half OF the fees
10 tho general treasurer. This looked like
an ipterference with charitable work on
tke part OF this city so the house commit
too required the probate clerk OF Provi-
dence also 10 pay one-haf the fees re-
ccved by him.
It was proposed ly the commission 20
close the state law library at l o'clock
Saturday afternoons In vacation. The
h,usn committee wisely recommended tho
library open until 3 o'clock An interesting
situation developed In the house commit
tee on the judiciary when IL took up the
commissions fixing OF salaries ot the
clerks OF the superior court for Newport
aud Washington counties.
SALARIES OF CLERKS.
The commission proposed to give the
clerk OF the Newport court $500 year
and the clerk OF Washington $3.50 year.
u 6id not take long for tho committee
TO experience doubts as 10 the wisdom Of
such a discrimination.
The extra cost OF living In Newport did
not figure In the committees estimate,
so the recommendation was made 10 pay
each clerk 1920 a year.
Sessions OF the superior court the house
committee recommended should be held
az woonsocket on the first Mondays In
October February and June. Tho com
mission left the holding OF sessions there

A rather important addition made by
the house committee r. that there shall
be no Jury trials in Providence between
the first Monday OF July. Inclusive and
the first Monday of October In each year,
except by agreement Of parties with tho
consent OF tho court This practically
lengthens the court vacation three weeks.
