Prospect Of Walking
G|addens Girls HOLIDAY

Gifts, big cake, Halloween deco
rations and CHEEKY visitors helped
Martha Geesling celebrate her 22d
birthday anniversary in Emergency
Hospital yesterday, but the prospect
OF a gift she may receive in the
near future did most to brighten
the long g-bedridden girls day.
Martha received a broken back In
1927 when she was buried by a clay
bank cave-in. After extensive hos
pital treatment, she was released in
1881, doctors saying they had done
all they could for her. She was
admitted to Emergency Hospital in
the summer of 1897. however, and
her left leg was amputated at the
hip Is months ago. Eight weeks
later, she lost the other.
The undiscouraged young woman
has been hospital favorite. Pub
licity given her case was credited
with being responsible in large
measure for establishment last year
OF w. P A. visiting teacher prof.
ect to enable shut-in children to
receive education.
The smile Martha flashed for her
birthday guests yesterday was char
acteristic. but bit brighter than
usual. Her doctor had informed her
she soon would be fitted with the
artificial limbs she hopes will per-
init her to walk for the first time
IN over IL years. Then, she said,
she expected to establish a busi-
ness, make herself self-supporting
and continue her education.

$50. The latter named cases were
handled in Glass B suits prior to es-
tablishment of the Small Claims
Branch on April 4, 1888.
The fee for Glass A cases through
judgment originally was $40 but was
reduced to IS at the same time in
1884 that the reduction was made In
the landlord and tenant filing fee.
The Class A fee was lowered largely
because Of complaints that the $40
sum plus an additional $40 when q
jury trial is demanded was an ex-
cessive figure.
The cost through judgment in
class B cases is $1.25, 4 figure that
also was fixed in 1884, although little
change In the actual total was made,
as several incidental items in carry
ing a suit through were consolidated.
In the Small Claims branch the
filing fee was 81, set when the court
was established, until the reduction
OF 20 cents voted by the judges yes
terday.
Fees from the types of cases other
than landlord and tenant have
brought in relatively small pro-
portion of the courts income. Glass
A cases in 1922 totaled 654 and in
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899,
totaled only 785. One year during
this intervening period, however,
the number reached 1852, but in
only one other year has the total
reached as high as 900-1934, when
the court handled 931 class A suits.
Glass B suits have had a more
substantial rise. In 1922 1924 of
these cases were filed, and in 1898
reached a peak of 23,09l. The larg-
est jump came in 1927, when the
number increased from 14,752 to
1874. Since that year the number
has gone as low as 1881.
The small claims branch, which
took away the major portion of
suits handled as class B types, had
22.57 filed during the last fiscal
year.
With the landlord and tenant
branch, then, furnishing the lions
share of the income, critics of the
court have been loud in their con-
demnation Of the policy Of placing
the heaviest burden on those least
able to pay.
