The committee on courts and

Introduced in the Legislature re
cently by Representative Charles
H. Cowles placing Wilkes coun
ty under the state-wide record
er's court act.
A hearing was scheduled for
I today (Thursday) but word wa.s
received Tuesday that it had
been postponed until Wednesday,
March 22, at 3 p. m. Quite a
number of Wilkes county peo
ple are expected to attend the
hearing before the committee.
The bill does not establish a
recorder's court in Wilkes, Rep-
re.sentative Cowles pointed out
in a recent communication ad
dressed to his con.stituents. It
does, however, give the board of
county commissioners the au
thority to set up such a court.
The commissioners if they deem
it best after a trial of two years
may abolish the court.
Wilkes county was exempted
from the state-wide act at the
time it was enacted.
