MUNICIPAL COURT
JUDGES UPHELD
Supreme Court Says Names Sub
mited by Governor MOrehead
Will Stand.
TO ELIMINATE THE JUSTICES

The state supreme court has up
held as constitutional the appoint
ments OF r, W. Patrick. A. II. Muir
dock and r. c. Hunter as municipal
court judges for Omaha, according
to an enactment of the last legisla-
ture.
Governor Morehead made the APP
pointments few months ago. The
incumbents proceeded to file their
bonds and qualify and held one ses-
sion of court in the offices of the
city legal department, but suspended
their sessions pending action by the
supreme court on case brought to
test the validity of the appointments.
The contention Of the directors in
this case was that no vacancies ex-
listed whereby the governor could
legally make appointments before a
next general election.
Money set Aside.
The decision of the supreme court
means that Judges Patrick, Murdoch
and Hunter may proceed to hold their
court. They will serve until their sue
cessors shall have been duly elected
The salary is $500 year each
When making the 1916 budget the city
council set aside $1,000 for municipal
court, but not necessarily in the city
hall The municipal judges have re-
ouested the city council to arrange with
the county commissioners for room in
the court house. which request. 1t IS
understood. will be granted.
The establishment of municipal court
will have the effect Of eliminating all
Of the Justice courts except one. There
are six Justice courts in Omaha.
