They haven't been 1 able to do as bad as that i'll Putnam yet, notwithstanding it's smaller police l force.
 Why Appointments Are Held Up. l It is probable that the appointment | of judge and deputy Judge of the ] Putnam city court may be held up ! with other minor judgeships through ] out the state while an endcavor is be- l ing made in the legislature to pass 1 bill providing for the appointment of ! all such judges by the governor in- ] stead of by the system in present use | It is understood that the bill provid- 1 ing for this change will not be long l delayed in transit through the various l legislative processes, so the local 1 judgeship appointment may not be ! held up long.
