Jury Fees To Be
Parf Of Court
Costs In County

Court costs for unsuccessful liti-
gants will 60 up, according to Com
mon Pleas Judge Gerald A.
BayneS.
Judge Baynes stated that re-
cent decision rendered by the At
torney General will make the de-
fendant liable for jury costs in mis-
demeanor cases, heretofore paid by
the county. Jurors receive S. a day
while on duty.
In a recent case, held here after
the Attorneys Generals opinion
was delivered, court costs with the
jury amounted to S113, in a one
day trial. 1t is believed that the
new ruling will affect the number
of misdemeanor cases taken to the
jury in the future.

Auto inspection
Bill To Senate

The compulsory auto inspection
bill which passed the House with
vote of 76 to 46 in this legisIa-
ture, has had a long history in
Ohio. The measure lost in the last
two legislative sessions, and four
years ago it passed both houses
but was vetoed by Governor
LauSche.
The present bill provides for
two inspections a year, by state
licensed garages. The fee would
be $3.50 for each inspection. Pro-
ponentS of the bill argue the safe
ty factor, while opponents of the
Dill, in addition to belittling the
safety factor, claim that the bill
is badly drafted and full of con-
tradlctions. Same claim that it will
provide another racket for gar
ages, and rackets do flourish in
garages.
1t has been proposed that the
inspections be accomplished by the
state, but this procedure has been
discarded as too expensive. al
though many legislators agree that
state-operated system would be
better.
The Senate has not yet taken
action on the controversial mea-
sure.
