Fisher Will Not
Appoint Judge
This Week
—:0:—
|
|
A successor to the late Judge John
V. Kosek, of Luzerne County, will not
be named by Governor Fisher before
next week at the earliest. The Gov-
ernor left here Thursday afternoon
for a business trip to New York City.
He will probably return today. The
return of Senator A. J. Sordoni, Luz-
erne County chairman, from Cuba,
also is awaited in connection with fill-
ing the vacancy.
The Luzerne political community
has been reconciled for several days
to the prospect that there will be fur-
ther delay before the appointment of
a new judge is forthcoming.
Having consistently shown a dis-
position to consult county leaders on
the matter of appointment, it became
evident with the long delay that Gov-
ernor Fisher might want to hear fur-.
ther from the two State Senators and
the county chairman.
So far as is known the situation
remains where it was two or three
days ago, with Attorney W. A. Val-
entine in the ascendency as a pros-
pect for the appointment, but with
campaigns still in progress on behalf
of Frank L. Pinola, Abram Salsburg,
District Attorney Thomas Lewis and
others.

County Treasurer Wall is now
making up a list of delinquents pre-
paratory to entering the suits, which
will mean additional costs to those
who fail to settle. = There is about
$20,000 in mercantile taxes unpaid
