The Western Somerset municipal
court may be abolished at the next
term of the Legislature. 1t is con-
tended by some that it is not doing
the work planned for it when it was
created. not being any lack on the
part of the judge, but the work of the
county is being done through the trial
justices instead of in the municipal
court. It was intended when the
court was created to eliminate the tri-
az justice courts to a great extent and
have the work done largely through
the municipal court, but such is not
the cast The matter of going back
to the old form of the municipal court
has been considered by the county
commissioners but no definite action
has yet been taken in regard to the
matter. The court was established
about six years ago and Judge r. +.
Lawrence was its first judge. Judge
H H. Brazzell was appointed by Gov
ernor Plaisted two years ago at the
expiration of Judge Lawrence's term.
