To Abolish the Municipal Court.
A bill Will be presented to the pre-
sent Legislature according to the re-
port, to abolish the Western Somer-
set municipal court. This court, accord
ing to the petitioners, is a duplicate
of the trial justice courts throughout
the county and is unnecessary, as
they contend a big part Of the bust
| ness coming under the Jurisdiction Of
| the municipal court is now taken 20
| the trial justice court. This is especial
ly true in Skowhegan, where the bulk
of the work of this nature is consid-
cred. The claim is that when the west
ern municipal court was established
lN.,,, civ
| er demand for a separate court as
more liquor cases came up. But now
the liquor law is less violated and
therefore business decreased The
| jurisdiction of this court comprises
the towns of Skowhegan, Fairfield,
Madison and Bingham. The civil term
is once each month in the various
towns. Criminal cases come at any
time. Each of these towns has trial
justices and the jurisdiction as to
power is the same in municipal court
as in the trial justice court in GRIM
inal cases. The salary paid the num-
icipal court judge is s140O, where tine
trial justice court is under the fee
system.
