Court would have jurisdiction in
civil cases involving up to $4,000
instead of the maximum of $500
now permitted in Justice of the
Peace Courts. Many East Cleveland
civil cases involving more that $500
that now must be tried outside of
East Cleveland could then be tried
in the new East Cleveland NUM-
cipal Court, thereby providing bet
ter service for East Cleveland
citizens.
This additional court business
would tend to justify the full time
municipal judge that is required
under the municipal court act.
Legislative leaders for years have
advocated the replacement Of police
courts by Municipal Courts, which
is the reason why only four police
courts remain in the entire State
including East Cleveland's Court.
The feeling is very strong in the
Legislature that these few remain
ing police courts, if not abolished
this year, must be abolished two
years hence.
1t therefore seemed advisable to
request a Municipal Court with it's
increased civil jurisdiction rather
than try to maintain the present
police court with its greatly cur
tailed jurisdiction.
Stanton Adams, judge of the
city's police court, has expressed
his opinion that, in view of recent
developments in Columbus, a new
municipal court is advisable. Such
a court, says the judge, will pro-
vide better service to East Cleve-
land citizens than the present
police court with the curtailed iur-
isdictions to be enacted into law
by the legislature.

Municipal Court Is
By City

| East Cleveland city officials have
requested that the Legislature re-
peal its present Municipal Police
Court Act and substitute a Munici.
pal Court with civil jurisdiction
effective January l, 1858.
The new court would be similar
to the municipal court of Lake
wood, Euclid, South Euclid, and
many other cities throughout the
state. Shaker Heights has requested
a Municipal Court and Cleveland
Heights is now giving the matter
immediate consideration.
If East Cleveland, Cleveland
Heights and Shaker Heights all
obtained new Municipal Courts the
cities of Bedford and Ottawa Hills
would be the only municipalities
remaining in the State of Ohio to
retain police courts.
East Cleveland's decision, states
City Manager Chas. A. Carran, is
based upon the following develop
ments that have taken place during
the past few weeks.
The Supreme Court recently de-
clared unconstitutional a law
under which Justices of the Peace
in East Cleveland and throughout
the State were compensated. The
new law permitted salaries for
justices in lieu of fees. Because of
this court action, the Legislature
saw the immediate need for new
legislation which has been intro
duced and abolishes, effective Janu-
ary 1st, 1858, all Justice Of the
Peace Courts, and, at the same
time creates new type Of district
court of which there will probably
be six in Cuyahoga County.
These new district courts will
take over the civil cases now
handled by the Justice of the Peace
Courts, Mayors Courts, and Police
Courts such as the East Cleveland
and Cleveland Heights Courts.
City ordinance cases under this
new district court legislation could
still be tried in the East Cleveland
Court, but the new district court
would also have concurrent juris-
diction with the East Cleveland
Police Court in city ordinance
cases. There is difference of
legal opinion as to whether such
concurrent jurisdiction would give
a defendant the choice of having
his ordinance case heard in the
East Cleveland Police Court or in
one of the new county district
courts.
East Cleveland tries many
felony and other state cases and it
would be very inconvenient, quite
costly in police manpower, and un-
satisfactory in other ways to trans
port all prisoners in state cases to
the new district court and have the
cases tried there
