| JUDGES WILL SEEK | TO CLEAR UP DOCKETS
 BY WORKING LATER

Judges of the Tenth Judicial circuit comprising Jefferson county will be- gin to work overtime April l when the new docket is called, they de- c;ded at a meeting Saturday after noon. Their hours will be from 9 o'clock a. m. to p. m. and from 2 o'clock to o'clock in the after noon, according to Judge Dan A. Greene They now hold court from 9:So to 12:3O in the morning and from to 4SO o'clock in the after noon.
 This action was determined upon, Judge Greene said, in order to pre- vent a crowded docket. He said the judges of the civil division kept their 6oclSets well cleared but could not afford to permit them to grow con- gested.
 One of the chief reasons for chang ing the hours, he stated, is to permit the assignment of a judge to help Judge William Walker with the docket in chancery court. Members of the Judiciary of the Tenth circuit will be assigned to help Judge Walker at their convenience. Ac- eording to Judge Greene, former Chancellor Hugh A. Locke made an effort to clear up the equity docket before retiring from the bench, but because of the number of cases set vas unable so to do. There are about 25 cases on the equity docket ready for submission.
