Special to The News.
 Little Rock, Feb, 2.-Considering the fact that he is probably the young est circuit judge in Arkansas, it is hardly proper to speak of Judge John Brizzolara of Fort Smith as a judge of the old school, yet he is what the ideal jurist must be. In both branches of the legislature, bills are being in troduced to defray the travelling ex- penses of circuit judges and chancel- lors when away from home on judi cial business. Senator Claude Thomp- son contemplated the introduction of such bill for Judge Brizzolara's dis trict. In some manner Judge Brizzo- lara learned of it and immediately wrote requesting that no such steps be taken as he was not serving as judge of his district for the money he colud get out of the office.

Want OLD BRIDGE REMOVED
WHEN new ONE IS READY

Efforts will be made by the
Chamber of Commerce to have the
present bridge over the Raritan riv-
er between this city and South AM
boy removed as soon as the new
state bridge is completed. Accord
ing to information given out by the
State Highway Commission at va
rious hearings concerning the pro-
posed structure. the present bridge
would remain standing until 1927,
even though the new bridge is COM
plcted in 1925.
The Chamber of Commerce Is
much against the idea of letting the
present structure remain for any
time at all after the new bridge
is completed, and will urge that the
old bridge be removed as soon as
the new one is finished so that it
will not prove menace to naviga-
tion. 1t is likely some definite ac-
ton Will be taken in this matter at
the meeting of the directors on
Wednesday night
