Judge Chase om Collecting Fines.
Judge Chase of Clearfield county
called before him the board of com-
missioners in that county and told
them in the plainest manner that it
wag their duty to esllect the fines and
penalties imposed by the court. Thee
years ago. Judge Chase took the mat
ter of collecting these penalties in his
own hands, and made almost a perfect
score, collecting during the three years,
$03.754.14
During the three years prior to the
time Judge Chase gave the matter his
personal attention the commissioners
had made such a miserable score that
the Judge in his address said:
“the collections were practically
negligible, and was unfair to the
Court, the public, and made a farce
of the imposition of fines.”
Continuing, the Court said:
“In returning to its proper source
the duties assumed hy the Court, It
is desired to state that thir respon
sibility rests primarily, because of
the position, on the president of the
Board of County Commissioners,
George Minns; and no doubt the pub:
lie will hold that officer responsible
for the effective administration of
these duties” ;
Ih Centre county this collecting, it
appears, will be turned over to Roy
Wilkinson, the appointee of the Court.
to an office heretofore held to be une
necessary, at a salary of $2600 per an:
num, and expenses. By following
Judge Chase's example In Clearfield

been accomplished through officers al
