/ The trial of such causes as may be
ready will be started before Judge

list of supreme and circuit court
cases are unusually dong. In the SUI
preme court list are nineteen. Among
them is the suit of John p Lyons,
representing the small board of
freeholders, against the large
board of freeholders for salaries of
the small" board members. This ac-
ton grows out of the refusal of the
large" board on advice of County
Counsel Runyon, to pay them despite
the passage by the last Legislature of
an act making it mandatory upon the
large" boards in the state to reim-
burse the small" board members
whose title to their offices We're not
upheld by the courts.
