Upon roll call in the council full
membership was found present.
Colonel Chavez objected to the use of
the descriptive terms Democrat and Re-
publican in the council journal and on
motion the journal was to that extent
expurgated,
The joint resolution to appropriate
$4,000 for the expenses of the board of
equalization and the solicitor general
provoked considerable discussion. Mr..
Perea objected on the ground that the
solicitor generals salary is ample and
that the allowance would be a bad prece-
dent. Mr.. Ancheta followed on the same
line, stating that he was not sufficiently
advised in the matter to vote in favor of
the allowance for the solicitor general.
Mr.. Victory stated that it had always
been the custom to make this allowance
for the collector general and that this
provision was inadvertently omitted two
years ago. Mr.. Perea opposed the APP
preparation in an earnest speech, stating
that he was willing to pay the equaliza-
tion board their $1,1O0, but was unwi!l-
ing to make gift of $500 to the present
solicitor general. Upon motion of MIR.
Gales the bill was recommitted for the
consideration of the finance commit
tee.
The reasons why the conference COM
mittee on compensation of house and
council employees had not met last night
was discussed, it being complained by
the chairman of the committee, Mr.. Bun
Lur hat ba hol nat att laI
at the appointed place, the Palace hotel.
Mr.. Hadley, who was not ct the meeting,
suggested that that hotel was quite Il
large place and that although he had been
there from yesterday afternoon until this
morning he had been unable to find the
rest of the committee, although he had
diligently made inquiries.
Mr.. Chavez also said that he had been
invited to meet the judiciary committee
at o'clock at the Palace and although
he had fingered thereabout for about two
hours the committee had proves invisl-
Bile. Mr.. Larragoite suggested that some
recent events had not been conducive to
good memory.
Mr.. Desmarais, of the committee on
securing new quarters, stated that ar
rangements for the use of the land court
room at the federal building for meetings
of the council had not been com pleted
owing to the necessity existing for COM
munlcation with the authorities IN Wash
ington.
G. B. No. 6 was introduced by Mr.. Des-
marais, repeating certain sections of the
gaming law and providing substitute

vance, shall be charged on each gaming
