ADVISES JUSTICES TO GET
RID OF CASES PENDING

The county attorneys office is sending
notices 10 the various justices in The
county recommending that they dispose
OF pending cases as soon as possible.
County Attorney / e, Wiley further
recommends that no contlnuances be
granted In cases unless there is good rea
son.
County Attorney Wiley declared that the
laws are good and so much complaint
would not be heard if they were rigtdly
enforced. RE is OF the opinion that too
many continuances are granted for trivial
reasons.
Wiley SAYS that when he assumed the
duties OF the Office the first OF the year
there were 1i5 cases pending. of which no
disposition had been made. He is clear
ing these away rapidly as possible.
