Former probation officer James
Petty has just completed juvenile
court record for Stevens county ex-
tending over period of three years.
The record gives comprehensive
account of forty-one cases of alleged
delinquency. The record has been
typed on loose-leaf ledger and is
indexed and PACED. This record has
been compiled for the purpose of
personal reference by the court and
the newly appointed probation officer
Mrs. George Thomas, and not as
public record. The report shows that
of the forty-one cases of alleged
delinquency, thirty-fve Of them are
on parole to their parents or some
responsible person and are making
regular reports to the court and pro-
baton officer, while the remaining
six have been committed to the state
training school,
Under the laws of Washington all
lawyers must deposit with the county
cleark on or before February l of
each year the munifcent sum of one
dollar in order to be accredited at the
bar of the superior court for the en-
suing year. The fund thus created
is made the foundation for county
law library. There are, according
to present estimates, fifteen practic-
ing lawyers in Stevens county, and
this being the second year of the
operation of this law the fund has
grown to the munifcient proportion
of $50. The attorneys of the county,
it is said, are prompt in meeting the
tax and rather like the idea of build
ing county library, but the process
is slow one, and under the present
growing prices of law-books which
seems to keep pace with the rise of
the times, it will require generation
OF two of lawyers to work up to the
goal of a pretentious library. The bar
association, it is said, has under con-
sideration a plan to create a sinking
fund from the license fee and invest
it in safe securities until it becomes
large enough to make some big law
book firm rich when it is dumped
into it's Golfers some fifty years
hence.
County Assessor Gillings returned
