CHANGE IN INFERIOR COURTS
POWERS OF JUSTICES OF THE
PEACE INCREASED.
Bill to Give Them Exclusive Juris'
diction in Cases Involving
500 and Less.

A bill which proposes to change the name
and Jurisdiction of the inferior court Of
justice of the peace in the District OF Co.
lnmbia was forwarded by the Commission
ers today to Samuel ". Smith, chairman
of the House District committee. The
Commissioners urge the early enactment
of this proposed measure.
In an explanatory letter to Chairman
Smith, the Commissioners gave. among
other reasons for this legislation. that 1t
would assemble all the justices OF the
peace in one building. which will meet an
objection that has heretofore been made
requiring litigants and attorneys to go to
the different parts of the District TO at
tend to small matters of litigation. 1t Is
also the intention of the Commissioners
to have the name OF the courts now
known rs the justice of the peace courts
changed to the municipal court of the
District of Columbia. for the reason that
these lower tribunals elsewhere are ADAPT.

The bill was submitted to the Commas
sioners by the committee on municipal
legislation of the Washington Chamber or
Commerce which legislation meets with
the unanimous approval of that BODY
1t is provided in this bill that the Judges
of the proposed municipal court shali u, re re-

heretofore provided for justices OF the
peace to be paid monthly as heretofore,
but they shall not receive the allowance
heretofore granted for rent: stationery

yided that the said court shall have power
to appoint clerk at an annual salary
of si:NO and an assistant clerk at an
annual salary of $1,000. payable monthly
by the District of Columbia, which clerks
shall hold office at the pleasure or the
court. -,
The clerk shall receive and care for all
