a State law they were State officers, and the
State should pay them.

sad this ordinance had been passed very hastily

take the privilege granted Mr. Bezon, and after
paying ten thousand dollars year for it, would
make handsome annual profit.

dered and the subject was referred to the Com
mittee on Streets and Landings, ,-.4
