The Incum bent "of the police court bench devotes about two hours a day to that position, for which he receives $1,800 per annum, or $160 pel month. This Is believed to be as much money as ha would eard or dinarily in law office duties. ; , At all events, there has been no dearth of candidates for the offioe, and should an Increase of aalary be granted by the votera It la said the only visible result would be an Increasing number of aspirants each year.' for the office, and a larger amount of money spent for electioneering to get It.
