Before the current one-week criminal term of Superior Court opened Monday Fifth District Solicitor William Murdock of Dur ham appeared before the Board to ask it to consider the appointment of an assistant to him for this Coun ‘y. County Can Appoint There is no provision la. State law for the District doing this, he ex plained. but an act of the General Assembly permits a county to make such an appointment, and provides that the Prosecuting Attorney of the County- Court may also hold the District post, Mr. Murdock recommended Mr. Cole, who was last year named Solicitor of the County Recorder’s Court, for this post. It vm noted that Mr. Cole is already excluded from engaging in criminal law practice, since he holds the Coun ty Court post, and that the ap pointment of any lawyer other than one in his situation would al so exclude that person from crim inal practice. Would * Help County Mr. Murdock said that My Tea-. Sons for asking this aro not en tirely personal. I believe this will help the. County, and could con ceivably cut the length of court terms and save the C'nunty some money." In the five-county Fifth Judi cial District, which includes Per son, Durham, Orange. Granville, and Alamance Counties, there are 53 weeks of court, a year to which Mr. Murdock is assigned. He said he has 47 continuous weeks in court on the present set-up. The only County where he has an assistant on the basis he proposed for Orange in Durham, where Black well Brogden is liis assistant. The Solicitor said that because of the present press of his' duties he was unable to make investigations and advance preparations that were of ten necessary for his job. With help from an assistant, he pointed out, he could save time in court. R. J M.

The report said the Grand Jury would review the bids at its next session and 'pass them on to the Commissioners for consideration in the next annual budget of the coun ty."

Another Electrical Ordinance Offerd i The County Commissioners took ' under consideration another new } electrical ordinance Monday, this : one proposed by the county elect rical inspectors, Leonard Rose mend of Hillsboro and Frank Mor row of Chapel Hill.

The new proposal requires prior permits for electrical wiring end installation before the begin ning of work.

Supplemental requirements are included per taining to water heaters, which will require No. 10 wire conductor and grounded to present wtaer system; temporary service for power saws and trailers; poultry house wiring; domestic oil burn ers; sales areas in stores; and resi dences. Pertaining to the latter it requires that all residences or apartments of five or more rooms shall have a six or more circuit main switch with service conduct ors not smaller than No. 4; ser vice wires shall enter through rig id conduit or electric metallic tubing of a size not less than spec ified in the N. E. Code for given size wire; and all service or en trance switches shall be of the dead front type.
