the judge which pcrluips would give a judge more tine to

2
|
have hearings nncl devote time to some more serious
|
|
3
|
problems, probate problems. I don't know if I was

correct hut I think that's probably win t you were driving

MR. ENEY: That's what I had in mind. As
|
|
7
|
an Equity Master does now, he doesn't act, he recommends
|
|
8
|
to the judge to act. I was thinking in this area of
|
|
9
|
guardianships you might have a master who would take
|
|
10
|
the initial conference and make a recommendation to the

judge.

Eney, I am not in favor of masters. Not 5n experience
|

but I would rather see a judge even at that level. If

15

|
|
16

|
|

|
that authority than a master.

|
For example, if you take a petition for
|
|
19
|
fee or something up to the master, he says, I arn going
|
|
20
|
to sit on it a while. He sits on it two weeks. You go
|
|
21
|
back. The auditor wants to make a final report. He says
