NEW JURY COMMISSION-
. ERS MAKE RECORD
Although neither of the new jury
eommissioners reside in Somerset
borough or gin Somerset townships,
their maiden effort in drawing a
jury from the wheel resulted in
one-third of the petit jury that hill
serve at the February term of crim-
two disyricts. Forty petit jurors were
drawn, of whom thirteen live either
in the borough or in the township.
For years there has been complaint
that too many jurymen are annually
selected from the county seat and im-
mediate vicinity. Windber, Meyers-
dale, Berlin, Rockwood, Boswell and
other places haye contended that
their share of jurors was not pro-
portionate to the importance of those
towns.
The new jury commissioners estab-
rished a record percentage for Som-
erset. as never before had there been
as high as one-third selected from
here.
