plications; this was lost Mr.. Hall said
this showed disposition to influence the
votes of certain members, and he should
vote against the report, which of course
would affect all the licenses. korn, Will

posed IT, The motion was put and lost by
vote OF to 5, Hall requesting that his
vose oe segregated, voting aye for all ex-
