THE MAGIC CITY
Municipal Court for South Side
on Program for Civic
Boosters.
WOULD COST BUT LITTLE

A municipal court for the South
Side is the announced issue that the
local Civic association will make a
campaign for in their drive" for i'm
provcments, Judge Breen, secretary
of the club, filed a petition with the
city council Friday with this purpose
in view, The statutes require three
such courts in Greater Omaha and in
the petition it is cited that it would
be only just to have one in this part
of the city.
There would be no expense con-
nected with the court" said Judge
Breen yesterday in speaking OF the
issue. There is plenty of room in the
local city hall and the Judges salary
would be forthcoming just the same.
1t is proposition of saving car fare
for the numbers of South Side people
who have to take time to go to Oma-
ha to settle petty dispute that should
require but few minutes in local
court room."'
The petition recommends that the
local police court be authorized also
to decide cases that would come be-
fore the municipal court.

plans for the campaign for a new

efforts to have their appeal recog-
nized.
