UPHOLDS POWER
OF JUDGE BELL
City Attorney Johnston Com
pletes Argument in Case
Attacking Authority.

City Attorney James Johnston today
forwarded briefs of his argument on
behalf of the city of Moline, which is
defendant in an action before the
state supreme court questioning the
authority of Judge B. S. Bell to pre-
side over the county court. Walker,
Ingram & Sweeney, attorneys for the
Burlington road, have appealed de,
NAL of a motion for a rehearing of OBJ
assessment roll, Moline project. II
is claimed that the judge is acting
under an unconstitutional law in trans
acting county court business. While
the city is defendant in the proceed
ings Judge Bell is not himself directly
involved in the case.
Attorney Johnston does not contend
that the law authorizing the county
clerk to call in the probate judge to
fill vacancy on the county bench is
constitutional. He considers it unnec'
essary to do so. He takes the posi-
