MUNICIPAL JUDGE
MUODLE STIRRED
PARTIES CONVICTED BY FORMER
ACTING JUDGE SEEK REDRESS
FOR THEIR GRIEVANCES.

There is liable to be something stir
ring in the city administration in a
few days, but as yet no definite move
has been made.
When the present administration
assumed the reins of city government,
the cry of retrenchment went forth
and it has been the earnest en-
deaNor of the mayor and commits
sioners to save every penny to the
city possible. For that reason it was
thought to do away with the office
of municipal Judge and thereby save
a salary, the commissioner of police
and fire department acting in the ca
pacity of Judge. Under that ruling he
served as such from the time he was
installed into office as commissioner
from the fourth ward in May up to
within a few days ago
During the time that the commits
sioner served in the dual capacity
many cases were tried and convictions
given and fines collected, but it has
been rumored that the commissioner
was without his jurisdiction; that the
charter provided that a police or mn
nicipal Judge should he selected, ana
| that under no circumstances could
the commissioner of police act
as mdge of the municipal
court. while holding the office of com
missioner. This was passed for n
| time but so persistent did the ru-
mors become that at a recent meet
ing of the board of city commission
ers a municipal judge was chosen in
the person of l.. G. Shelton, who il
now acting in that capacity.
But that is not all of the matter by
any means. What the convicted par
ties want to know at present is wheth
er Commissioner lkard had the power
to act in their respective cases or not
and If not what mode of procedure are
they to pursue in order TO obtain re
dress, this question was put 10 solh'
of the leading attorneys of the city
this morning and in their opinion they
state that under the law when per
son is elected to one office and later
accepts another office whose duties
are incompatible with the Office he al
ready holds, that he forfeits the rish
TO hold his former office. The ques
ton would seem to be whether th'
partment would he consistent Il
commissioner of police and fire de
holding the office of municipal judg'
at the same time he was drawini
salary from the city for acting as com
missioner
= This controversy may involve ques
= tions that will have to be settled b.
the courts later.
