that there might be degree Oh psruahty 10 the
operation Of the l'w proposed. so far as regarded
the towns Of Wndham and Windsor Counties, but
thought the inconvenience in relation TO these
towns need not be very great 1t vas to De sup
posed as a matter Of course that members in such
towns would travel to the Capital by the usual
roues The advantages Of the bill now proposed
however, were such as to outweigh any minor con-
sidetations Ike those which had been urged.
Mr.. Comings Of Greensboro, thought there was
an ambiguity in the law as it stood upon the stat
ute book. 1t was difficult to say what was the
usual route Of travel as there set down. There
was good deal of dissatisfaction with the law
far this reason in many towns. This was espe-
cially true where two adjoining town decided that
the usual route from one to the Capitol was
around by cars, and from the other which was
little farther from the railroad, across the coun'
TRY by stage The representatives OF the two
towns in this case would draw, one perhaps three
times The mileage OF the other. He hoped the
law would be changed ~
On the question Of dismissing the oil' MI
Colby Of Hartand called for the cas- and nays.
Yeas ia nays ST. and the bill was dismissed, and
mileage is still computed BY the usual route oil
