HALL IS CONFIRMED AS MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGE
Appointment Hung Up by the Council for Many Months -- A Young Man

	The appointment of Gardner S. Hall as judge of the Rochester 
municipal court has finally been confirmed by the council.
	Governor Tobey named Hall near the beginning of the administration, 
to succeed ex-Governor Samuel D. Felker, who was automatically retired 
because of the age limit. There were two other candidates for the position
and the council refused several times to confirm Hall. Meantime Judge Felker 
continued to act, by appointment of the Dover judge, under whose jurisdiction 
the Rochester court came because of the vacancy. 
	Now news has come that the council has receded from its position, 
as it did previously in the case of public service commissioner and in other 
instances.
	Attorney Hall is a member of the law firm of Cooper and Hall and 
during his residence in this city has not only made many friends but has 
been a leader in his profession.  He was born in Marlboro, N.H., the son of 
Benjamin and Adeline Hall and is only thirty years of age.  He attended the 
Marlboro grade schools, Keene high school and graduated from Dartmouth coll-
ege, class of 1922.  Attending Boston University law school, he graduated in
1926 and the same year was admitted to the bar.
	On August 1, 1926, he came to Rochester and became associated in the 
practice of law with county solicitor Burt R. Cooper.  On Jan. 1, 1930, he 
entered into full partnership with Mr. Cooper.  While at Boson University 
he was on the board of editors of the "Lakeview" and was also an active 
member of the "Woolsack," a honorary society of that institution.  
	Mr. Hall is a Mason of high standing a member of he American Legion 
and the "40 and 8," and of the Square and Compass club of this city.  He is 
a director of the Public National Bank and serves as its attorney.  Many 
friends unite in extending congratulations and predict that he will enjoy a 
most successful administration.
