Mr.. Harvey stated that he had re-
fused TO sign the report because he
was opposed to the resolution. and at
the proper time would vote against it.
twas moved and seconded that the
report of ne committee be adopted.
II was also moyed and carried to vote
by ayes and noes.
Mr.. Tobin opposed the adoption Of
the resolution. calling attention to the
fact that for years he had been voting
against this appropriation.
Mr.. Bremmer thought the rule to
vote S.. 600 good one and Of great
benefit to small towns that have many
bridges to build and no income from
license moneys as the cities and larger
villages have.
Mr.. Eastman thought that ss the
small towns are taxed to paw for iron
bridges the rich towns build, it is only
fair that special tax be voted to be
apportioned among the poorer towns
to assist in road and bridge building.
Mr.. olnson expressed sympathy
with the small towns but believed the
abolishing of this IS. 900 tax would not
iniure them as their road taxes are
usually light anyhow. costly grading.
macadamizing and bridging not being
generally necessary in those towns.
Mr.. Shrake favored the motion and
thought it would be cheaper to pay the
S., 600 than to pay the special bills
that would resultfor expensive bridges
If this motion should be lost.
Mr.. Stone believed it due to the
poorer towns because roads in such
towns cost more according to their
valuation than they do in the richer
towns and are for the use and convent
ence of the whole county.
Mr.. Ward spoke in favor of the mo-
ton.
The motion passed BY the following
vote:

Mr.. Stone moved that the commit
tee on highways, bridges and ferries
be instructed not to debar any town
from receiving a portion of the 5000
because that town had received aid for
building iron bridges The motion
was lost by a vote of Is for and 20
against
