lions committee a favorable report or

court. A few years ago the city of
Oelwein wanted superior court, and
had the law changed so that it could
get under the cover. Now Perry is
asking that the law be changed again
and that cities having 1000 population
be allowed superior court. A delega-
ton was here yesterday urging the bill,
which has been before the senate some
time.
