While iafllP it Tonh wrce in me wwob Lmo art -nrv f. ml w Kn ,s. inated, Mr. Bellamy was of the oplnr ion that much of it could be dispensed with. His idea was to pay a salary of $1,500 or $1,800 to a competent per son to preside over the court, the : clerk of the Superior Court to act as clerk of the county court Mr. Bel lamy said from a careful examination of the language of the Superior Court in passing upon the court established last year for the city of Asheville, he was of the opinion that such a court could be given concurrent jurisdiction with the magistrates of the county and the further jurisdiction over all cases I below the grade of a felony with ap- jPeal to the Superior Court in any event He said that he had given the I matter much thought and until the late decision of the Supreme Court there were constitutional limitations in the way which he felt -sure were mow eliminated- He said that he had "no axe to grind" in the matter, but was acting solely with the idea of econ omy in view- The Board of Commissioners readily approved of the idea advanced by Mr. Bellamy 'and appointed a committee composed of Chairman MiCE&chern, Robertson and Vollers, to take the mat ter up with the Board of Aldermen with the request for a similar com mittee to be appointed fcy that Board, the two committees to go in confer ence and prepare a bill with the coun ty attorney that would meet the requirements. At the meeting of the Board of Al- dermen last night Mr. Bellamy and Mr. VeHers were present and the facts were- brought tq the attention of that body. A committee was at once namedto consist of the Mayor, Alder men J. A. Karr and P. Q- Moore. Later the, city attorney was added. The joint committee will at once get together and tn conference will prepare a bill to be presented to the Legislature providing a county or recorder's court for New Hanover.
