MUNICIPAL COURTS WILL
MAKE INCOME FOR CITY.

While some officials and others In
tcrested In municipal affairs feared NJ
first that the new municipal court
system might prove n costly lnstltu-
ton. IL now turns out, II the figures
on the subject NJ present In the hands
of Comptroller McGann are To be re-
lied upon, that instead Of being an
expense TO the city they will be Il
source of considerable income To IL.
This is reassuring ana gratifying.
for the municipal court system has
been well planned, will do away with
many public grievances and abuses,
ana will be Il boon 10 the people in
general,
The expenses and receipts rcspcc-
lively are estimated thus: Total an
nual cost, s4T2,OOO. This includes the
salaries Of twenty.clght judges, com
pcnsatlon for outside judges, salaries
of court attaches, jurors fees, heat,
light AMI janror service of the court
houses, Receipts will come from cases
Of first class Involving over $1,000,
which will amount To $4,000 annually,
cases Of second class, between $500
ana $1,000, amounting annually to SO.
pun, civil cases of less than $3.50,
amounting yearly To $4,000; criminal
cases, $1,000; quasi criminal cases,
$4,000; acknowledgment Of mort
cages, $4,000; making total income
~ $4,000, or a balance IN favor Of
the city, $4,000.
These figures have been obtained
from practical ana experienced law,
yrr~ and may be accepted as very
nearly exact and correct.
So that In addition 10 being Il great

poor mans court a great addition
10 the machinery OF the law ana the
