MAY DIVIDE
COURT ROOM

In a few days bids will be called for
hy the Levy Court for installing filing
cases In the County Count House. The
plans are now i'm the hands Of the Com
mlssionors. It is also probable that dur
ing the coming season the County Court
room viii be divided. thereby giving two
court rooms. The seating capacity is 800
outside Of the Nail while the court In
which the Thaw trial is being conducted
has seating capacity, including lawyers
and jury quarters OF only 200 The Levy
Court Commissioners last week when they
visited the Montgomery County Court
House at Norristown. were impressed with
the necessity Of having two court rooms.
The Orphans Court or the Court OF
Chancery very often sits while the su-
perior Court is IN session. I'm the opinion
OF some members Of the Levy Count there
is no necessity for having 50 much seat
ing capacity In the court room as at nres-
cnt The present court room IS the second
largest one i'm the United States.
