cans. The New York delegation did not vote, as
question. They allowed the matter to 90 by de-
fault for the purpose OF securing the final passage Of
the bill. SO the amendment was adopted and the
bothersome school section Is repealed.
When the bill was reported back to the Senate
Mr.. Chapman attempted to have Kennedy's first
amendment inserted, but 1t was voted down. ThIn-.
derbOlt Norton wanted to move to strike out the
amendment adopted In relation to the schools and
was only Kept from doing so by Tweed and Bradley.
Mr. Genet moved to strike ont sections twenty
eight, twenty nine and thirty, but ON the matter

priatOn for stationery $40 QUO. instead OF 800 O00.

fshed, but the SUPERVISORS had been compelled
to come here year after year and get
