Illinois ruling upholds Cook County attorney fees plan
Chicago March 21 The Cook County state's attorney's right to fees for the mate's attorney office in addition to a 7000 dollar salary was upheld by Judge Windes in the circuit court. The court found valid the 1901 act limiting the salary and directing fees to the county treasurer. Healy pledged to turn any fees beyond 210000 a year to the county schools, an action he says he will fulfill if higher courts sustain the decision. The schools would receive about 50000 yearly. The 1901 act fixing fees to the treasurer set the salary at 40000, while the former 7000 rate remains until the act is decided.
