SAY
COURT NEEDED
But Judge McClintock
Points Out Its Added
Burden to Taxpayers.

An endorsement OF the bill intro
duced in the legislature calling for the
establishment of a county court at law
in FL PasO. was voted at the regular
meeting OF the FL Paso Bar association
Monday.
Opposed strenouusly to the bill was
county Judge L. d. McClintock, whom
the measure, in the event OF its passage,
will relieve from considerable work.
Added Burden, SAYS McClintOck.
The county has enough burdens TO
carry" said Judge McClintOek, in speak
ing against the endorsement of the bill,
''and it will be but an added burden to
the taxpayers of the county. l believe
that l can attend TO all OF the matters
of the county court under the present
system, and at the same time look after
the commissioners court" he said. As
/ see 1t, the passage OF the bill VIII
only mean keeping the different courts
from interfering with each other in set
ting cases.
Lawyers Demand Attention.
Speaking in favor OF the endorsement
of the bill, lawyers stated that 1t was
almost impossible, at the present time,
to get any civil cases tried, the county
Judge being frequently interrupted to
attend to probate matters or something
related TO the commissioners court
Since being in office. which was at
the beginning OF the present term OF
the court. Judge McClintOek has dis
posed OF 20 civil cases, in addition to
the criminal cases and probate matters
which have come up.
