Mr.. CLARK accepted this and with
drew his objection.
Mr.. BARLEY called up his resolution

returns.
On the question of the adoption o.
the resolution Mr.. Barley said quite {
number of the chairmen had not beer
aware of the rule which necessitatc(
their bringing in returns by Thursday
That the state law allowed them sever
days. As they did not know they were
obliged to bring them in so soon, justic,
demanded that they should be paid
MIR. WATSON said he had no objec
tons to parties being paid if they came
specially to bring the returns But i
the chairman came as a member of til,
board then he should not have pay foI
bringing in the returns
MIR. ROBBINS thought the votes ough
to be N by the day appointed and no
put off until the day of the meeting o
the board and then get pay.
MIR. CAREY wished to know if it wa!
necessary for the canyasSers to canvas
the vote at once.
MIR. WATSON understood the law Il
be that the returns were to be canvasseC
Saturday if they were Il. If not, thcI
the following Tuesday.
Mr.. RoDOLF could not see how an,
claim for recon pense could be basel
If the chairman waited until the meeting
OF the county board. The offer wa
made SO as to induce the bringing in 0
the returns at an early date so the vot,
could be known.
MIR, JONES was opposed to paying
anything for bringing in returns. Th'
gentleman held that no chairman had
right to send returns by a messenger a
the former was responsible if they wer,
lost. The chairmen were obliged to b,
present at the meeting of the board ant
there was no law forcing the canvasser
to commence work before Tuesday
Therefore they could just as well saw,
the money by having the chairman
bring IN the returns when they came t.
the meeting of the board
MIR. hartley had no AK 10 grind bu
some had already gotten pay anC
thought others should have it. Knowl
edge had TO be paid for,
Mr.. RoDoLF moved to amend by pay
ing the chairmen of the different towns
this year for bringing in returns anc
letting the old resolution of the boarc
stand.
Amendment adopted.
