New Judiciary System Expensive.
State Auditor Horace f. Graham
Gays that he does not believe there
will be any saving to the state by the
new judiciary system. Ia his opinion
the dual system of courts will cost the
tate in excess of what the judiciary
system has cost in former years be-
tween SO, 900 and S11 900. or practical
ly the salaries of the three new judges
and their expenses. Doing away witt
the fee system in municipal courts
however, and the placing of city
judges on a salary will, in the opinion
of the auoitor, balance the extra ex-
pense of the supreme and superior
courts, so that the change in the
judiciary will not for the current two
years increase the cost of the admin
istration of justice.
