Judges Pay Proposal Sparks Bar Association Critique
The Massachusetts Bar Association Exec Committee denounces the Special Commission on Special Justices plan to make 100 part time district court judges full time with salaries of 18000 for special justices and 20000 for presiding judges.

The panel also criticized withholding dissenting reports from Meserve Dunphy and Brewin. The Senate adjourning and House actions regarding daylight time and liquor and vivisection studies are noted, along with barber shop ownership limits for licensed barbers.
