The need to battle desperately for Town Justice Courts is continu- ously urgent. Nothing has been settled. The opponents are preparing for a major push when the legislature meets. We may well be defeated. Last year if 600 of the over goo towns of this ,states instead of 200 towns , had individually passed a uniform resolution demanding concrete action,! I am certain the peak of the battle would now be passed and victory would be definitely in sight. , t We must therefore engage in an all out offensive if the towns are to be in a position to protect the right of townspeople to govern them- selves. Hundreds of towns have been asked for suggestions as to how to strike the most decisive blow for Home Rule. From the answers the enclosed 19591Town Justice Court Resolution was fashioned.- Remember this offensive in behalf of self determination by towns- * *people will only carry weight if more than 600 towns individually pass this Resolution and send. copies to proper government and press represen- t6tives so that there will be vast public knowledge of our determined stand in behalf of the Towns people. We cannot go our own ways scatter, or be dormant and still retain To-,ern Government. Seven or eight State Commissioners , from our own Town officers to help more than 1800 Town Justices are not much for the towns to ask for but those seven or eight townsmen, given the tools •of authority can accomplish a lot for our Towns. For example--they would make a real annual report of the work Justices do--not only the cases the comptroller's office counts , but in addition a count of the cases by name where peace 269 has been restored without an arrest or docket entry, also where a civil Justice Court suit has been settled without the payment of a filing fee. We acutely need that count to help dispel ignorance as try the worth of Justices and Town Courts, The Town of Clarkson passed the attached `Resolution on November 5, 1959. _All you use the, enclosed copy, strike an immediately concerted and firm,blow for Home Rule and Town �Government and as a •Town Board re- presenting townspeople pass this .Resolution? If ,we lost Town Justice Courts let each of us be in a position where we can-each truthfully .say, "Lr fought fiercely and intelligently that Town people might govern themselfes." A flood of public attention is needed. Will you help? Kindly write personally and tell me what your Town did. Sincerely yours , December 2, 1959 Charles M.
