The thought of what the printing OF
the several baskets Of petitions would
cost was afrighting the members.
Mr.. Wilson moved that all printed

further printing be stopped, and that
the various petitions introduced be re-
ferred to the delegations of the Coun'
ties from which they come.
Mr.. Moses was In favor OF tearing up
all printed petitions and stopping the
work, which he said might cost S2,uI
or $1,000, If all petitions were printed.
Mr.. Wilson's motion was adopted.
