the report of this Committee on the Judiciary Department
|
2
|
which throws the Court, of Baltimore City into the same
|
3
|
category with the county courts.
|
4
|
I am proud to be on the Court. It is not
|
5
|
our fault that the counties have what they have. It
|
6
|
is not my business. It may be yours. If they want
|
7
|
laymen, I have a list of all members of every county
|
8
|
court, the undertaker, bus operator, gasoline pump
|
9
|
operators, school teacher, handling the probate and
|
10
|
questions concerning a large estate, that's their affair.
|
11
|
But I think that to condemn the court here in Baltimore
|
12
|
City in the same category with those of the county under
|
13
|
the guise of an improvement and the question still
|
14
|
remains who wants this change, in view of the fact the
|
15
|
Legislature hasn't changed it since 1943, I think it was
|
16
|
an unfair and unjust thing to do, not to me as a junior
|
17
|
member of this Court, but to the Court as a whole,
|
18
|
particular here Judge Fricdman who has been Chief Judge
|
19
|
for seven years.
|
20
|
In conclusion I say to you this. Any
|
21
|
changes that should be made in this Court will come from
