The dinner was served promptly
at O'clock and was followed by a
program of very interesting talks
Drafts of the proposed constitution
were handed out to all the guests.
Judge Samuel j. Drew, of the pro
bate court Of VIII county, spoke
against the proposed adjustment OF
the ten probate courts Of the state
Ottawa is one OF the ten counties Of
the state having a separate probate
court, the others all having both the
county and probate court business
transacted in the county court.
Judge Drew explained that under
the proposed constitution, all of the
business would be transacted under
the county court, and that a county
Judge. who was busy hearing a case,
did not have the proper time to de-
vote to probate work.
Other talks were made by Judge
