! Mr.. Jonas was opposed to the system
OF boards, and thought that this dicta
ton to the city OF the manner In which
| It's police should be controlled was In
antagonism with the principle 30 fire..
auently urged that the city should be
left to regulate its own local affairs.
| Mr.. Tremoulet, OF Orleans, was OF the
opinion that the Governor should APP
point part Of the board.
Mr.. VOORHEES,. of Orleans, like Mr..
Jonas, spoke at length. but taking an
entirely opposite view from him. The
amendment was, In his mind, an excel
/ lent one and did not In the least inter-
| fere With the rights Of the city, since
the mayor and council had never given
the authority to select the commission
ers, and the precaution was taken to fix
the term of office of these commission
ers, SO that every year one will have to
be selected, and the consequence will
| be that In the revolution of time these
commissioners may belong to different
political parties and prevent the mon
opoly of the board by any party to sub
serve their political ends.
