TO ELIMINATE THE JUSTICES
The state snpreme court has up
held as constitutional the appoint
ments of R. W. Patrick, A. H. Mur
dock and It. C. Hunter as municipal
court Judges for Omaha, according
to an enactment of the last legisla
ture. Governor Morehead made the ap
pointments a tew months ago. The
Incumbents proceeded to file their
bonds and qualify and held one ses
sion of court in the offices of the
city legal department, but suspended
their sessions pending action by the
supreme court on a case brought to
test the validity of the appointments.
The contention of the objectors In
this case was that no vacancies ex
isted Whereby the governor could
legally make appointments before a
next general election.
Moitr M Aalde.
i The decision of the supreme court
means tbat Judges Patrick, Murflock
and Hunter, may 'proceed to hold their
court. They will serve until their stie
ressors shall have been duly elected.
The salary la $2.j"0 a year ouch.
When making the 1!1 budget the city
.council set snide 111,000 for municipal
court, but not necessarily In the city
hall. The municipal judges have re
quested the city council to arrange with
the county commissioners for room In
the court house, which request. It 'S
understood, will be granted.
Tha establishment of a municipal court
will have the effect of eliminating all
of tha juatlre courts except one. There
are six Justice courts In Omaha.
