1	all our work would go into the Supreme Bench.
2	One more thing. In 1964 the Register of Wills
3	of Baltimore City gave to the state $3,625,000. In 1965
4	the Register of Wills gave to the state $3,966,000.
5	In 1966 the Register of Wills gave to the state $4,200,000
6	I give you these figures to show most
7	people think because of the people moving from the city
8	to the county that the work of the Orphans Court of
9	Baltimore City is being lessene'd. Since I have boon in
10	court, I think the work is three times as much now as it
11	was when I took over as Chief Judge in 1959.
12	Another example of the work is our court
13	docket, which took three and a half years to finish,
14	I checked with Mr. Raymond, that is court hearings,
15	not informal hearings on many cases we hear, but I am
16	talking about meetings of distributees, meetings of
17	creditors, implied revocation of wills, et cetera, that
18	it takes only twelve months to finish a docket, at most
19	sixteen months. You can just see by our cases that
20	are recorded cases . we keep in our dockets how the work
21	has added on.
