MEETING OF JUVENILE
COURT GROUP HELD FRIDAY
Will Consider Appointment Of
Magistrate T0+ay

For the purpose of booming ac-
quainted with the provisions of an act
of the 1881 Legislature in regard to
their own committee responsibilities
and the appointment Of a juvenile
magistrate, members of the Juvenile
Court committee of Garrett county
met last Friday afternoon in the of
flee Of the County Commissioners.
The Act of the Legislature set forth
way for the appointment of a juven-
lie magistrate in each county to have
jurisdiction in all cases of delinquency
among boys and girls under sixteen
years of age, in case the County Com
missioners would set aside fund for
the expenses of such court in their
annual levy. Since 1881 only one coun-
ty has provided the necessary funds
until this year when the Garrett Coun-
ty Commissioners, a little more than
a month ago, levied 5000 to be used
during 1888.
By providing the money to set up
juvenile magistrate it next became the
duty Of the juvenile court committee
to meet. This committee was appoint
ed several years ago and consists of
E. R. Jones, DR.. w. w. Grant, Adam
Richter, Truman C. Bittinger and
Rev. David C. Trimble. Others in at
tendance at the meeting last Friday
with the committee were John L. Fitz-
water, attendance officer of the pub
lie school system; Miss Ethel Miller,
executive secretary of the Garrett
County Welfare Board, and Mrs. E.
z. Tower, of the Maryland Children's
Aid Society.
The Act of the Legislature which
created the court committee was eX-
planned by States Attorney Neil c..
Fraley, who is also attorney to the
Board of County Commissioners. Mr..
Fraley pointed out the need for some
additional juvenile jurisdiction in the
county.
The committee is to meet again this
afternoon to recommend the appoint
ment of a juvenile magistrate. The
law requires the appointee to be a
member of the bar. The appointment
will be made by Governor Harry w,
Nice.
