ADJOURN FOR
WELL EARNED
VACATION

Today is the last day of the session
of the Lake superior court at Ham
mond. Tomorrow begins the summer
vacation for all of the attaches of the
court and the Lake county lawyers as
we'll.
The work of the last term of court
breaks all recordst for the number of
cases disposed of. Judge Reiter has
disposed of 200 cases this term which
is far in excess Of the work of any
other term of court.
The largest number of cases that
have been disposed of in any previous
term was $50. When the fact is known
most to dispose of the $50 cases 1t will
be seen that the record of 200 dispos-
ais is a remarkable one.
Many New Cases FILED.
In fact there is probably not another
court in the state which can show such
a remarkable record for a single term
But the discouraging thing about the
work of the court to those who would
like to see the docket cleared up is the
fact that so many new cases have been
filed that in spite strenuous effort that
Judge Reiter has made to relieve the
congestion there are about as many
cases awaiting trial as before the last
term began.
Judge Reiter said yesterday: II look
for conditions to become worse rather
than better on account of the fact that
there is a constantly increasing amount
OF legal business being done in north
ern Lake county I have been consid-
ering several measures for the relief
of the situation and I will probably
adopt one of them at the time of the
opening Of the court in the fall"
May Appoint Special Judge.
Judge Reiter did not say what these
measures for relief were. but 1t is be
lieved that a special Judge will be Sc.
lected to try certain classes of cases
- Several Hammond lawyers were Sc
lected by Judge Reiter at variou!
times during the recent term to tr!
divorce cases and other civil actioni
and this may be done more frequentl!
next fall.
1t is expected that within the mex
year. or before the next Legislature
meets, the congestion OF the local cour
will make the appointment of an extr;
Judge an imperative necessity. During
the interim, however, the people of thi
part OF the county may be congratu
lated on having a Judge who has boil
the inclination and the ability to pu
through the enormous amount of worl
that the court is doing. Both Judg
Reiter and the Hammond lawyers ar
deserving of a well earned summer va
cation.
