Dixon Would Attach Jefferson County to Lewis and Clark District
Governor Dixon proposed adding Jefferson County to the Lewis and Clark first judicial district to save about 10000 dollars yearly. He said Jefferson should be in the first district and Judge Smith could handle Madison and Beaverhead, with Jefferson paying half the cost of two stenographers. The plan would shift court terms to Boulder and Helena and delay a formal bill to the legislature.
