 A location at Second and Cushman, considered today to be the most valued property in Fair $1,050 in 1909. The First National bank corner was priced at $732, banks, was appraised at only and the business lot at Third and Cushman was valued at $408. The owner of that corner was Martin Pinska, present day merchant. He remembers that the lot was covered with trees at the 1909 appraisal.

Screening Process
OF Civil Jury Cases
Saves $1,000 for City

District taxpayers have been
saved more than ST 900 a day dur
ing the eight days the new Screen
ing" process for civil jury cases
has been in operation at Munich
pal Court.
Judge Thomas D. Quinn, who is
in charge Of the system set up to
reduce the 14-to-20-month back
log Of civil jury cases. said last
night that 119 cases have been re-
moved from the civil jury ready"
calendar since December 6.
These cases, had they gone to
jury trial, would have cost the
District 1896 in fees for Jurors,
he pointed. out.
rs Cases Transferred.
OF the 119 cases, "a were
settled outright before Judge
Quinn, or dismissed by him for
lack of merit; Is cases were trans
ferred to the non-jury civil CAL
endar upon the request of OPP
posing attorneys. The non-jury
calendar is practically current,
Judge Quinn pointed out, a fact
attorneys are often unaware of
until the screening" conference
is held.
To date, the jurist has held con-
ferences on 1858 of the 1913 civil
jury cases on the ready" calen-
dar. In four cases, judgment
was awarded by default, when at
torneys for the defendants failed
to appear; 245 cases have been set
for trial between January 2 and
middle part of February.
Notification Given.
Under the system, attorneys
concerned in the ready" cases
are notified to appear for brief
screening" conferences this
month. If settlement can be
made, or if the litigants no longer
are interested in trial, the case
is dismissed. Other cases are re-
ferred to the non-jury calendar,
and still others are judged in
default.
Chief Judge George P. Barse
estimated the behind schedule
civil calendar should become cur
rent within a reasonable time"
