There has been considerable discussion
over the bill introduced in the Legislature
by Senator Minch to increase the salary of
certain Judges. 1t has been stated this
bill was to increase among others, the
salary of the Judge of Burlington County.
AS matter of fact the bill introduced by
the Senator from Cumberland does not
affect the salary of the Judge of this
county. The bill provides that the salary
of judges in counties of more than $4,000
and less than 10000 population shall be

county, according to the last census was
so, 042 and the present salary is $1,000.
Consequently the bill would not affect
this county, in fact it applies to Cumber-
land alone.
