First floor Week -Look What You Save! State Council Drafts Plans U. of I. Man Suggested as Research Director By Associated Press CHICAGO The new Illinois Legislative council has adopted the plan of procedure by which it hopes to improve the law-making process in the General Assembly. Meeting here yesterday, the council composed of 20 legislators set up rules under which it will meet quarterly at Springfield. A month before each session of the Legislature, it will make public a recommended program for guidance of the assembly and enlightenment of the public.

The council is hparipri hv Qanatnr XT ouiiui Chicago Democrat. The first such program will be drafted next December for the consideration of the 61st General Assembly meeting in JanJary 1939. Meanwhile a subcommittee headed by Senator Richard J. Barr. Joliet Republican, will set up a research bureau to assist the council.

Selection of a research director, for whom a S5.000 annual salary tentatively was agreed upon, was postponed to allow the Barr com InRTnMflRRnw Attorneys to File Briefs in School Case it ood-Tuscola Annexa-. tion Hearing Ends Monday Staff Correspondent TUSCOLA The three-day hearing in the Atwood-non-high school residents law suit in which some of the residents of 18 sections of land lying between the Tuscola and school districts are seeking to restrain Atwood from annexing, csrr.e tn an end late Monday afternoon after Atwood attorneys had brought 11 witnesses to the stand. Plaintiffs rested their side of the case Friday afternoon after introducing 25 witnesses in an attempt to prove that 'le petition with 136 names does not contain a majority of the legal resident voters in the disputed territory. Briefs In 15 Days Circuit Judge Joseph L. McLaughlin after hearing summations of the case by both sides Monday granted plaintiffs 15 days in which to briefs.

Defendent replies be filed within 15 days following the submission of the plaintiffs' briefs. Further replications are to filed five days after the de fendants' reply. 51 i lesiiu.s pf tense uuufi uukli ex amination by Fred Kelley pointed dtit that thpy had lived in the disputed non-high territory but had mnved to other localities where they worked during some time prior to the beginning of litigations. In summing up the plaintiffs side of the case, F. B.

Leonard contended that the main question involved in the case is the interpretation of the phrase "legal voters residing in the territory." "Resilience" Is Plaintiffs are contending that "residence" should be determined en the basis of where a person actually "lives" and considers "home." Ke pointed out that if the court should decide that four persons of the list of 31 "contested" persons' were legal resident voters of the territory the Atwood petition would I automatically become invalid. With 298 legal resident voters agreed upon by attorneys in the case only four residents would have to be added to void the petition with 156 names. Categories Of Residence Continuing the summation.
