amended so that women shall be voters in
cities, as well as village and fire district
meetings. Mr.. Tinkhan of Pomfret offered
an amendment which, on point of order
raised by Mr.. Poland, was held TO he not
germane to the matter before the house
Mr. Tinkhan then moved to amend the bill
by striking from 1t the condition precedent
that female voters shall have list taken.
Judge Poland opposed this; the bill pro-
posed to give women exactly the same rights
as men and should be passed unamended.
The amendment was also opposed by
Messrs. Marsh of Woodstock and Mann of
Wilmington and was lost. Mr.. Mansur then
moved that the bill be amended in relation
to the. list requirement by specifying a
grand list amounting to two dollars-a prop
erty qualification of 5000 Mr.. Poland OBJ
Jected to this as making distinction against
women; the amendment was opposed also by
Messrs. Mann, Tinkham, Fisk of Morrstown,
Abel, Marsh, Kingsley, Bedard and Butter
field. An aye and nay vote was taken on
Mr. Mansur's amendment resulting as fol-
lows: 172 against to 81 in favor thereof. The
gentleman from Vershire made motion to
amend, but as it was the same in substance
as that OF MIR. Tinkham it was voted down.
Mr. Smith was ruled to be out of order. Mr..
Tinkham hoped the bill would not pass in
its present form. Mr.. Mansur briefly replied
and moved the previous question, which,
being adopted and the main question being
ordered, the ayes and nays were called by
Mr. Poland. Result: for the bill, 1876: against
