There is a real job ahead for the judges if we are going to get the courts up to date, he said. It can be done with cooperation and hard work. Cummings reported that with Justice A. H. Ellett, assignment justice, he has visited every county and asked the county clerks to go through their dockets for the period beginning Jan. 1, 1966 to Sept. 1, 1968, and count all of the open cases to arrive at a starting figure. Cases filed prior to January, 1966, probably never will come to issue, they concluded. They then asked the county clerks to report each month the number of cases filed and the number disposed of, and they have been keeping this record since. Cummings then wrote to district judges asking them to have their clerks furnish a list of open cases and asked the judges to issue orders to show cause why cases in which no action had been taken recently should not be dismissed. Utah County did this and s has cut about of their cases from their backasked that log. Cummings other counties do this and accordingly pare down their numbers of pending cases. Salt Lake County had 15,052 cases on hand Jan. 1, 1969. New cases filed total 4.778, making the total pending cases 15,750 after closing 4,080 during the six months. This is an increas of 698.
