COUNTY ATTORNEYS
Do WORK, ANYWAY
All Favor Abolishing Office of
of COmmOnwealth's Attorney
as an Unnecessary Expense
and Increase Salary
ALDEN BARLEY ON PROGRAM.

County Attorney Alben Barley re-
turned last night from Bowling
Green, where he attended the state
county attorneys association and de-
llvered an address on the advisable
ity of aboishng the Office Of common
wealth's attorney. judge William
Reed also spoke before the associa-
ton.
After weighing the reasons for
and against, Attorney Barley drew
the conclusion that the Office of COM
monwealth's attorney could be abol-
ishsd to advantage to the state. In
the general discussion in the associa-
ton that followed, the unanimous
opinion was that the Office could be
advantageously abolished.
It was found that in some counties
the commonwealth attorney D a
real need, but in most counties he is
aburden on the state treasury, the
county attorney usually doing all the
work. The association thought that
the county attorney should receive a
larger remuneration and that the
Office should he abolished. 1t was
a profitable meeting In every way
and the speeches made by Attorney
Barley and Judge William Reed
were among the best on the pro-
gram.
