There are forty-eight Justices of
the Peace in Wayne county. Under
the new Act of Assembly they are
elected for six years. Prior to this
| their term of office was set at five
years.
No special qualifications are re-
quired of aspirants to this RESPONSE
bic public office save that each can
didate shall be a resident of the
township or borough from which he
desires to be elected
Elderly, intelligent men are gener-
ally selected for this office. Only
very few of them make anything out
of the justiceship, most of them sim
ply running their Office for the ac-
commodation of the public.
AS a rule most of the Wayne
! County Squires are inclined to settle
the cases brought before them. They
| receive their commissions from the
Chief Executive of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, and are
sworn in by the Register and Record
er of the shire.
Sixty days time is allowed them
J in which to take out their commits
sions. All but three who were chos-
en- at the November election have
take the oath of office, viz. E. d.
! Goodnough, Lebanon township; r.
! Wonnacott, Waymart borough; J. n.
Stevens, Paupack township.
Squire E. B. Hollister, Hollister-
vile, holds the record for the longest
period of service He took out his
! first commission in 1862, and still
administers justice with an even
hand. Squire James r. Smith,
Dreher township, is one of the oldest
justices, having served for good
many years.
Under the new schedule passed at
the 1911 session of the Pennsylvania
Legislature all Justices whose term
of Office expires at any time during
an odd-numbered year (e. 8, 191D
