Widespread interest Is being evinc-

Commission. to force the Chicago, Of

The city conteds that franchises

later force those companies TO make
their properties conform with i'm

BAR 1 ASSOCIATION.
LA SALE COUNTY LAWYERS
WILL HOLD SESSION MONDAY
GANIZATiON

An effort is being made on the part
of certain attorneys of the county to
convert the La Sale County Bar AS
sociation, which has been practically
inactive for a number of years, into a
real wideawake, flourishing organiza-
ton, A meeting to get the concensus
of opinion Of the lawyers on this
project has been called for Monday
morning at 1030 o'clock in the County
Court room.
While of recent years the associa-
tion has only met when elections were
to be held, or when real important
business was to be transacted, the
future may see enthusiastic meetings
every month or two weeks.
With such an organization any mat
ter that the attorneys wish to bring
up for discussion, or any action they
wish taken in regard to court house
matters, or other business affairs,
could be brought up and discussed
and if advisable action taken by the
association on them.
Some Of the attorneys who are hope.
Ing to arouse the organization into a
wideawake bar association have
watched the workings of similar or
ganizations in other counties and have
seen the results that have been accom-.
plished from such bodies The law,
yers believe that much mutual benefit
could be accomplished from such
meetings, and that working as unit
the organization could secure things
that individuals could never obtain.
Matters pertaining to the state bar
association meeting will also be dis
cussed Monday.
