The director said opposition to the
establishment Of the proposed court
also has been expressed by the judges.
the charges by Councilman Carragher
Of negligence on h part of the Isola-

grounds of the hospital are used as a
public park.
The resolution opposing the appoint
meent of a juvenile court judge vas
introduced by Freebooter Malta at the
request of Director Evans. The latter
said the law passed by the Legislature
creating such courts in Hudson and
Essex counties was drawn with a view
Of giving such a court to Hudson
County, which felt it had considerable
need of such an institution.
This is not true in this county,
where the judges of the Common Plea
Court have been taking care of juve-
nile cases.. he said. 1.-The work here
is light, and our Judges have been
handling 1t in a satisfactory manner"

tor, with a salary of $1,000 a year, was
