Wright of the district court stated
today that he felt no alarm over the
failure of the state legislature, before
it adjourned, to make appropriation
for the district court salaries.
He stated that appropriations al-
ready made would pay the salaries in
this district, as in all other districts
in the state, up to July 1. His salary
and the salary of the court reporter
are paid from this state appropriation.
All other expenses are paid by the
county.
Judge Wright stated that he be-
lieved that a special session of the
legislature will be called by Gover-
nor Robertson in which event the
needed appropriation probably would
be made. In case that the apropria-
tion is not made in time he believes
that some provision can be made to
obtain the money needed for the sal-
aries until the legislature acts.
