late election $50 each, the total amount
so paid to be $4,000.
MIR. Doran moved to amend, making
the amount S25 each.
Mr.. Pike called attention to the fact
that in certain precincts of the city the
services were very brief, and that
that amount of money would be much
too great compensation. He offered
resolution, as a substitute, which pro-
vited that the judges and clerks be
compensated for extra services by
payment to them severally of sums
to be determined in each case
as follows: Every judge and clerk to be
allowed in addition to the allowance OF
50 per day, as provided by law, the
further sums. first of IS, and second. of
an amount to be computed by allowing
to each judge and clerk of election three
cents for every ballot polled in his dis
trict; provided, that no judge or clerk
of election shall be paid more than SIS,
nor less than Sc in addition to the per
diem already allowed"
Mr. Pixies substitute was at length
defeated, Mr.. johnson being his only
supporter The amendment of Mr..
Doran was then carried and the judges
and clerks will receive s25 each.
