NEW CRITICISM AGAINST
MUNICIPAL COURT HEARD
First Years Report Shows Large Ex-
penditures, Say Critics.

Renewed criticism of the Municipal
Courts list of employees and its expendi-
lures during the first year of operation
followed today the publication of the
courts first annual report. The court ex-
pended s229, ,303.12 and collected $l75,652 16
In fines and fees, making the net cost
S53,65O.96. To offset this, 1t is claimed by
Judge Brown that the tribunal saved the
city about $4,000 in Jurors fees through
it's trials without jury.
The report shows that the court has 157
employees, including IL tipstaves. exactly
the same number as there are in the
whole five courts of common pleas
The Municipal Court disposed of 36,397
cases in the year. and out of 1899 crimi-
nal and civil cases tried and decided there
were but 3S appeals to the higher courts
The greatest amount of work was done
by the domestic relations and Juvenile di-
visions of the court, 1890 cases being
heard in the former over which Judge
Brown resides, and 14,374 in the Juvenile
division. Judge James E. German is in
charge of this division. A total of $345,-
1904 has been collected in the domestic
relations division through orders from the
division and paid to wives within "a hours
after the receipt of the money.
In his summary Judge Brown declares
tho time may come when no divlrce will
be granted until the parties have sub
mitted to the efforts of reconciliation by
the courts.
About 100000 will be spent by the
court in carrying out it's plans for new
buildings. approximately S1,00O000 for the
ground at 2lst and Race streets and
similar amount for buildings.
