Judge Charles 8. Cutting delivered
an interesting address Tuesday before
the Cook County Real Estate Board on
the Probate Court. Judge Cutting,
after a comparison of the work Of the
Probate Judge in 1881 and to-day, said
that Chicago has the largest Probate
Court In the world presided over by
one man.
I'm New York there are four Pro.
bate judges. or surrogates as they are
termed there" said he. They get
$4,000 a year apiece and serve for
fourteen years. get $4,000 year
and serve for four years. Yet between
6.50a and 1000 estates, approximating
all the way from $3.50. 200, 900 to $780,.
100000, pass through the Probate
Court Of Cook County every year.
There are more estates here, though
the total value involved may not be
80 great as In New York. The mum.
Der Is greater here because Chicago
has 80 many more people who own
their own homes than New York has.
The value IL greater In New York be.
cause 30 many more millionaires and
multimillionaires live and eventually
die In New York than In Chicago or
any other city In the country"
