or his own branch in the Municipal Court.
I, and am sure the judges of tn S court,
feel keen personal loss in his DEATH

Judge Mullowny said he had known
Judge Mills for many years, and had
found him a stanch friend, an able and
capable public official and a represent

HE was my friend as a young lawyer.
