the Importance of the Office of Justice

Some Of the changes we believe would

work unnecessary hardships on g

Especially would this be true in the
case Of doing away with the Justice
Courts, which is the most inexpensive

yet as a whole, performs a greater
service to the rank and file than any
other court we have.
We believe the majority of the PEG
pie Of this parish would object to max

seat every time a case such as is handl-

attention. Yet 1t would be necessary
