Mr.. Eckle, Chairman Of the Legislation
Committee, made full report saying that
they had done all in their power to pass
their bill, but they found great opposition
in the City Council bill. 4
They had consulted with the Council
Committee who yielded everything but the
financial point. "
That bill with few amendments would
have been lost, and rather than lose 1t we
waived the Council and contract bill, but
stuck to our thirty members. ..
1t finally passed with an amendment.
It now stands that no member of Council
be member ofthe Board. ...,..... -
It also gives US the right of $65,0Oo for
1877, per cent additional for 1878, and 8
per cent additional for every year thereafter
