This should be done. I never could understand why we wthdrew this support from the county clerks. because they are perfectly willing to take on the work. We have judges in the Supreme Court of New York where the term commences at 10 oclock in the morning ordinarily. and in these naturalization cases in the Bronx. where they are now sitting. they have appeared in court as early as 8 oclock in the morning in order to take up these cases before the regular term commences. This shows that if the Congress would give an appropriation to the county clerks every one of our supreme court judges would be willing to give part of his time. outside of the regular court hours. to the naturalization of citizens and help the work of the Federal courts.
