PROBATE
SYSTEM

The report OF the judiciary commission
is expected to be submitted 10 the gen
eral assembly tomorrow. It is under
stood that it will recommend the abolish
ment of the present Probate court system
whereby a number OF town councils have
jurisdiction.
The commission will advise the creation
of probably four Probate Court districts
to zoe presided over by judges with sal
aries ranging from $500 TO 5000
As to the consideration OF the act
some members have suggested a short re-
cess of the Legislature while the Joint
judiciary committee considers the vol
luminous recommendations TO facilitate
concurrent action. But II is believed
that the majority favor tho adoption OF
the commissions suggestions. It being
argued that slight amendments would
tend TO destroy the proposed judicial
system.

The only matter TO disturb the even
tenor of the way OF the meeting OF the
board OF aldermen last evening was the
plea OF Alderman Reynolds for simple
Life" In education OF the youth OF the
city
The plea came when the petition Of the
committee on city property came. asking
for the right to build an addition to the
Technical Training high school
Alderman Reynolds was on his feet al
most as soon as the petition was read
and pleaded with the board not 10 plunge
the city into greater expense. particularly
when II seemed to be useless waste. In
his argument he said that the expense OF
the city had been found To be already
great and more money was needed al
the present time than IL was possible TO
Epcure except by sp~ctTi trgisfatton
He said also that II there were half
the zeal put into the education OF pupils
in the primary departments that there
was put into the side issues later on
there would be greater work on the part
OF the pupils and they would be better
prepared for life.
In substantiating the arguments he
quoted the experiences of several bust
ness men who had had occasion 10 hire
young men from the training school. in
which IL was made manifest that the APP
plicant for work prided himself too much
in the diploma and scornod to do any
work that required the use OF overalls
and jumper.
He stated that the children came out
OF the schools at the present time dis
satisfied with home, life and education.
There were too many special teachers,
and ~ would be better 10 get hack 10 the
s.t- .sf Al. H.s

when reading. writing and arithmetic
were the branches upon which the energy
was expended.
TAX RATE LARGE"
AS another reason he urged that bust
ness was being driven away from the city
on account OF the excessive tax rate. and
a careful study OF the matter OF building
the addition ought 20 be gone into. The
cost ought also 10 be considered
Alderman Cook then made a motion
that n committee OF three be appointed
20 investigate the matter ot the expense
and 10 provide the board with general IN
formation upon the matter. as he for one
know but iftle about Il lie said that
az present II was not known definitely
whether an addition was really needed or
not and that the expenses OF the city
were already great.
The committee consisted OF Aldermen
Reynolds. Cook and Presbrey.
Beyond this the session of tho board
v---ur~oted TO the trauEaction OF the
regular business and the hearing OF peti-
tons as follows:
A communication was read from tho
