House Passes judicial Redistrictlng
The third Of the four big bills pre-
pared by the democratic house caucus
the judicial Tedistricting bill-was
passed finally by the house and is now
ready for senate action.
Six district judges are eliminated, a
direct saving of $4,000 per annum in
salary, and nearly half that much
again in stenographic fees and travel
ing expenses.
The house has previously passed the
bill consolidating county offices, and
the bill cutting down salaries. The
congressional redistricting bill, the
fourth of the caucus measures, yet
remains to be passed, and is likely
to have a harder time than the others,
since several democratic legislators,
estimated from seven to fourteen in
number, say they will vote against 1t
on passage.

the following districts:
