Here and There in the
Legislature

T.. w. Mtlstcad member of the House
OF Delegates from Newport News. has
introduced Il bill amending the net APP
plying I" police Justices in cities Of
the middle size class In Virginia. MIR.
Milstcad is industriously rallying sup
port for the measure and says he Is
confident Of It's passage.
The proposed amendment was in
spircd. the Newport News member cX-
plains. by conditions In his own city,
but he argues that the same conditions
may b" found In almost every city with
n population OF $4,000 or less Tho
existing law makes IL Incumbent upon
tbe same magistrate who tries ordi-
nance cases and criminal cases to hear
civil suits involving $500 or under. The
title of the act approved March 30. 1914.
which Mr.. Mils,ead is now fighting to
have amended. explains tho operation
or tho law. II reads as follows:
An Act TO provide In cities contain
ing 10000 Inhabitants and less than
5000 Inhabitants for the election of
a special justice of the peace. to be
known as the civil and police justice.
to prescribe his Jurisdiction and duties,
TO authorize the Issue by other Justices
or the peace In said cities OF warrants
cogniZahlo by said civil and police JUS
tice, and to abolish the office OF police
justice in said cities and towns and
transfer the Jurisdiction OF such police
Justices In said cities to such civil and
police justices"
Delegate Milstead says that the law
imposes what IL practically physical
iihp"ssihility ON the police justice of
Newport News and other cities of from
10000 to $4,000 population. The dock ct
OF any OF these police courts Is daily
hurdened with sufficient cases, ordi-
nance violations and criminal charges

gent consideration to large number
of civil cases. in addition.
