The bill for the CREATION OF the harbor
line commission stirred up more conten-
ton than even the main measure. The OBJ
lection was based directly upon the clause
making the lieutenant governor . member
and chairman Of the commission st a
salary Of 500 per month and expenses. OF
course nothing uncomplimsntary to the
lieutenant governor Was said, though VIII
son broadly declared that there was no use
beating around the bush. and he Was OPP
