AMENDMENTS PROPOSED FOR JURISDICTION OF MUNICIPAL COURT Amendments to the municipal court laws were determined upon at a meet' iug of the County Bar association last Saturday. It is proposed to give author ity to justices throughout the county to issue warrants leturuablo iu the court. A stipulated fee will be provided. This is so that arrests can lie made im mediately an offense is committed. Another amendment is that relating to county court commissioners presiding on the municipal bench. As the law now is the only officer eligible to try a case on change of venue, the law giving the court commissioner only the author ity to make an examination. The amendment proposes to confer the power on justices of the peace. HARD COAL IS AD VANCED IN PRICE BRINGING $9 A TON Hard coal has advanced in price in the city another 50 cents a ton and this necessary commodity is quoted at (9.00 a ton an unusual high figure. The deal ers, however, justify the advance by as serting that the hard coal now in the yards and wharfs can be disposed of at a higher sum by shipping to outside cities, hence the price is regulated by the markets. One fact is evident, that most of the householders had laid in a good supply of fuel before the prospect of high prices loomed on the horizon, hence the excessive figure f or coal can not possibly do much harm, There is ample hard coal in the city to more than tide the consumers over the winter months.

TO REDUCE THE JUDGE’S WORK Fond du Lac Proposes an Addi tional Jurist THE WORK TOR ONE IS TOO MUCH Obstacles in the Way For Getting Immed iate Relief THE NEW SUGGESTION IS QUITE APROPO This Circuit One of the Most Important in the State is Rapidly Expanding in Business Some effort will he made by the Man itowoc Bar association before the pres ent l“gi.slature to seek remedial legis lation for the Fourth .1 official district which will reduce the duties of the presiding judge to a normal amount of work. The judicial district has long been famed for the vast amount of work imposed on the judge. Attorneys throughout the jurisdiction pronounce the situation intolerable in com parison with the duties of other circuit judges. The Fond du Lac Common wealth commenting on this subject has the following to say: "Fond du Lac county is interested in devising some plan by which relief from the crowded condition of the court cal ender may be afforded. Each of the other four counties in the circuit has a ike interest in the matter and all should be ready and willing to co-oper ate to the end that such relief may be obtained at the earliest possible date. It is considered that Judge Kirwan has too much work. This circuit in cludes two populous cities, Fond du Lac and Sheboygan, both constantly increasing in size, and the conditions will gradualy grow worse. Two years ago relief was sought at the hands of the legislature, by asking that a commission be appointed to re district the state. This brought forth opposition from many quarters, as almost all of the other circuits were satisfied and even anxious to let mat ters alone. They didn’t want to be disturbed. In the meanwhile the complications in this circuit have con tinued to thicken. Anew plan, how ever, has Iteen devised and one which promises well. It is to ask the legisla ture to give this circuit an additional judge. In this way relief may be afford ed to the counties comprising the cir cuit, and, at the same time the other cir. cuits will remain undisturbed. The plan is indorsed by many of the at torneys and it is worth an earnest con sideration. "Whatever is done should l>e done soon. A cordial co-operation on the part of the members of the Fond du Lac county bar with the members of the bar of Sheboygan, Kewaunee and Manito woc counties, is essential to success in this undertaking.” MANITOWOC MILITIA SHOWS SATISFACTORY PROGRESS PER MARKINGS Markings at inspection give Com pany H, of Manitowoc, twelfth place in the Wisconsin National Guard.
