the importance OF this bill pointed 10 the fact that this
Committee had arrogated TO themselves the privilege OF
amending they pleased, and then they come in here
and ask that the bill be ordered to a third reading. He

Mr.. vedder sustained the proposition for anDexing
these towns as great public necessity and that being
the case he insisted that these towns should not be

Mr. Jacobs again submitted 1t TO the House whether
this annexation proposition should be incorporated IN
this bill without hearing given TO him and his con-
stituents There a provision in this bill which
struck down Of the county advertising papers, and
