ing" the measure through the council and
moved its reference to committee of the

question, which call was sustained by q
vote of to 5. ..
Mr.. Ancheta, in explaining his vote,
said that in view of the Importance of the
subject matter of the bill under consid-
Grafton he thought it was great mis-
take to allow such haste to characterize
the action of the council on the Inject.
Mr.. Ancheta therefore voted "no."
Mr.. Chaves thought that the bill was a
good one and that in voting for it he was
simply obeying the will of the people.
Mr.. Hadley thought that the scale of
compensation provided in the bill gave
three times as much pay to the county
officers as they we're worth. He therefore
voted "no."

that he considered the allowance for as
SCISSORS much too liberal, as it would, in

the offender by presenting him with wha
