Judge Harrison Faces Sarasota Court Split in Circuit Reorganization
The bill dividing the eighteenth judicial circuit into two districts, leaving Manatee as the eighteenth and creating Sarasota county as the twenty fourth, has passed both houses. Governor’s objection is not anticipated. In Sarasota, lawyers vie for the new posts with Paul C. Albritton and C. A. Williford named for judge and J. S. Walden, W. O Murrell for state attorney. Walden once served as De Soto county judge. In Manatee, the main effect is more time for Judge W. T. Harrison and State Attorney Dewey A. Dye to focus on county work.
