ROOM FOR NEW JUDGE
Increase In city's Population Pro
vides for Another Appointment

Philadelphia population, according
to the latest census, will entitle the
Municipal Court to an additional judge.
Politicians are already planning to get
the appointment from Governor Sproul,
but it is understood that the Governor
will go very slow in the matter of in :
creasing the number Of judges from
eight to nine.
David II. Lane. sage Of the Organi-
zation, has had his eye on this extra
judge for some time and his candidate
is John e. Walsh. In the event that
the Governor should be brought to the
point of making an appointment, the
wishes of Mayor Moore would, in the
opinion of politicians. be consulted, as
they were when the Governor named q
successor to the late Judge Vessel.
The increase in the population was
pa 4,150 and the law provides for q
Judge for each 200, 900. Gossip at City
Hall is to the effect that the present
eight judges are not overworked.
