Bronx Judge Says There Is
Alarming Reluctance of High
Standing Men to Serve.
Koccnt astonishing verdicts by
Juries In criminal cases In this city
Xfere probably due, to a great extent,
according to County Judge Gtbbs of
the Bronx, to the low mental calibre of
the men who will consent to sit on
juries. Judge Gibbs's opinion was de
Uvcrid to-day when forty talesmen of
a special panel of 100 claimed to have
lcifal excuses which would prevent
them serving In a criminal case.
"There Is a growing and alarming
reluctance," said the court, "on the
part of citizens of supposedly high
standing to perform Jury duty. To
this reluctance I ascrlbo the low class
of Juries that have been reaching ver
dicts ugalnst the facts and the law of
late.
"Jury duty Is a isacied obligation,
especially at this time when the crim
inal calendars are crowded and the
prompt functioning of justice Is Im
perative. Kvcn at great personal sac
rifice citizens summoned to Jury duty
hould fulfil their obligations."
As the court concluded Its remarks
thirty of the reluctant forty returned
f to their seats. Some of them were
lator accepted us jurors in the case.
Judge Muncuso of General Sessions
is In receipt of a letter fiom a former
juror In his court who agrees In put
with Judge Gibbs, but goes further
und blames the Judges The letter
reads in part:
"You Judges have got to get better
jurors on your panels men who t o
not sympathize with cthrlnul.s on fie
theory that somo day tliey may bo in
the position of the d;feuktnt. Kverv
' citizen should bo competed to do Jury
duty. But tho samo o'il crowd shows
up each year. Politicians should bo
forced to keep their hands off, for the
character of tho puno's is growing
steadily worse. Then, tho Judges
take up too much tirr.o In allowing
motions and delays -when they should
be giving consideration to the time of
tho Jurors. Apparently they don't i-e-gard
tho timo of thi Jurors of any
value."

$437,724,313. Cost to reproduce at
prices of the first half of 1921, less de
preciation, $571,048,271.
Tho Bureau of Valuation recom
mends the basts of original cost less
the amount found necessary to put
tho properties in first class operating
condition upon tho ground that the
other thrco bases represent theoretical
cost values rather than uctual ex
penditures. This recommendation, It
adopted, will mean that tho companies
wilt .bo allowed In new securities tho
equivalent of expenditures actually
mado in producing existing properties,
but no more.
