,uted as the rule of assessment, for "crime and population
rointiv."

Mr. F. MAtILE said he did not think the amendment could
be put i❑ its present form, as it altered all the clauses and
schedules of the measure.

hon. member would allow the bill to stand over for a few
days, so that time might be given for fully considering the
question.

Mr. BLAIR said, as he was not able to carry his amend-
ment, he should oppose the further progress of the bill. He
therefore moved that the bill be read a third time that day
