Mr.. Littlepage Dick Baker
said the battle for adequate
facilities for police, juvenile
and municipal courts is not
yet ended. There is still a
chance, without jeopardizing the
tuberculosis hospital and sewerage
disposal, to have the Municipal
Center included in the bill, he as
serted.
Every lawyer in the city, mean
while, should communicate with
those Senators and congressman
with whom he is acquainted to
press for passage Of the bill In
its entirety, Mr.. Littlepage said,
and If this is done the Municipal
Center will be assured.
Another important committee
Chester c. Caywood's Committee
on Publications gave rise to
much debate when it's report was
read.
Mr.. Caywood's committee recon-
mended in q majority report, with
one dissent among its member
ship, that the District Supreme
Court be importuned to amend
the present rule governing publi-
cation Of legal notices, so that
any journal or newspaper might
be designated as a legal publica-
tion instead Of the current pro-
vision which virtually establishes
q subsidized monopoly on such
publication Of notices.
The words Subsidized monop-
oily" are those Of proponents OF
the report.
George e. Sullivan presented a
substitute report recommending
that no action be taken on the
publications situation during the
present term Of court.
This brought President F. Regis
Noel from his chair and while
Arthur P. Drury welded the
gavel, Mr.. Noel launched into one
Of his finest discourses. With
plenty Of heat, but never neg.
lecting to present fairly the
merits Of the case, he told the
lawyers Of the study the Cay
wood committee had given the
subject before filing its report.
The result was that the group
voted down the Sullivan report
and accepted the committee re-
port.
John e. LaSkey's committee on
revision Of the constitution and
bylaws filed its report with a
number Of suggested changes.
These changes will be printed
and mailed to the members in
time for them to formulate their
own ideas and present them at
the next meeting.
Harry J. Garrity's committee
on selection Of delegates to the
American Bar Association Con-
vention, which will be held in
Milwaukee, June 27-31, made a
recommendation that the dele
gates be organized before they
leave in order to best serve the
interests Of the local bar.
Finally the outing committees
report was read by Lucien H.
Mercier, treasurer of the COM
mittee. It revealed that a net
profit Of $194 was gained by the
bar association in the venture and
many Of the secrets Of managing
q successful outing were divulged
by Mr.. Mercier in his report.
Principally, however, these
secrets were: Benjamin S. Minor
was general chairman; Abram F.
Myer was ticket chairman and
Guilford s. Jameson was Secre-
tary. Mr.. Mercier accepted on
credit for his own devotion to
duty in sitting by the entrance
in the hot sun waving the "Pay
as You Enter" sign at his
brethren, when he and his fellow
workers might have been sitting
in the tap room making merry.
A recorded vote of thanks was
accorded both the outing commit
tee and Mr.. Caywood'S committee
for their work. Then the lawyers
went into the dining room and ate
I'D all the dividends from the
outing.
An orchid apologies to Walter
WinchelD, to Alvin L. Newmyer
and other appropriate flowers to
those who voted recognition to
this writer's paper at the meeting
last night and left him rather at
q loss for words.
More adept at tipping than at
speaking, however, he would have
written in response:
'"Thank you gentlemen; but
UIease say it with legal ads next
time"
Write q slogan. WIN A PRIZE!
