NEW JUDGES URGED
FOR JERSEY COURT.
Walker Backs Rowland's Bill
for Two Additional
Vice ChancelIors
PLAN NEW UTILITY BODY

Special Dispatch TO Evening Public Ledger
Trenton, Feb. 3.-Ch hancel lor
Walker, head Of the Court Of Chancery,
Is authority for the statement that there
is>real need for the appointment oe two
additional vice chancellors, making ten
assistants for the states equity court.
Provision for the appointment Of the
two extra vice chancellors Is made in
the bill by ksscmblyman r. Harry
Rowland. of Camden, offered in the
Legislature this week.
Lawyers and litigants rcnlize the vol
ume Of work piling up in the Court Of
Chancery. Vice chancellors are COM
PEELED to hold open court at least FIVE
days a week, the sixth day being given
over to reference work. South Jersey
lawyers, other than those In Camden,
are subjected to most inconvenience by
reason Of having only one vice chan
cellor, Edmund b. Leaning.
Mention Atlantic City Man
Political equilibrium Of the equity
court is maintained. The eight vice
chancellors were selected because of al
lcgiance to either one of the major
political parties. Creation of two new
jurists will involve the selection proba-
bly, Of Republican from South Jersey
and Democrat from the northern tier
Of counties, where the states legal
business is heaviest.
George Bourgeois, OF Atlantic City,
is mentioned in connection with one Of
the appointments. William b. Gourley,
Of Paterson, is spoken Of here as
possible appointee from North Jersey.
Adoption by the Senate of the Wall
worth bill to reorganize the Public
Utility Commission raises fair pre-
sumption that the measure will be sup
ported by the Republican House, ire
spective Of whether the Court Of Err.
rors and Appeals sustains or reverses
Governor Edwards action in dismiss
ing the old board.
Camden county representatives are
credited with the move to bring about
q new deal in public utility regulation
