New (ity(ourt
Plan Offered
Would Creote
Municipal Judseship

Subject to ratification by the
voters at date as yet undeter-
mined, Mount Clemens will have
modern Municipal Court pre-
sided over by judge receiving
$4,000 to $500 a year, in place
of the antiquated justice of the
peace courts now provided I'M
der the 1914 City Charter.
This decision was made last
night by the Charter Revision
Commission, which voted unani-
mously to offer its well-con-
structed plan to the voters when
they vote on the new charter at
a subsequent election.
That the status and dignity of
the poor mans court would
be considerably elevated by the
new Municipal Court was the
concensus of opinion of charter
commissioners, as expressed by
John H. Nunneley, chairman.
The Municipal Court, if ap-
proved by the voters, will:
PAY for itself and possibly
make a profit through raising
its. jurisdiction from the present
$500 limit to $500;
Entail the election of a
judge and an associate judge for
six year terms;
3-Require the appointment
of highly-qualified court clerk
and stenographer;
4-Necessitate the erection or
lease of an appropriate court
room, roomy and properly furn-
ished similar TO the county'S
circuit courts;
