ported at the close of the day. They
had succeeded in coming to an under

ceive the sanction of the SEN

followed. Chief among these differ
ences were the matters affected by
the report of the first conference COM
mittee which was adopted leaving the
bill with these exceptions practically
as originally passed by the house. Mr..
Mansfield, who served on both confer
ences, could not agree with the re-
port of the last committee in allowing
county commissioners to fund in
debtedness by issuing bonds without
| first submitting the proposal to the
people, but his objections were over
ruled. To make sure that all was regu-
lar another vote on final passage was
taken, the bill passing burt not by a
vote sufficiently large to carry the
emergency clause and motion to re-
consider for the purpose of passing it
was noticed by Mr.. Bolitho.
Messrs. Nebeker OF Salt Lake, Nebe-
ker of Rich, Mansfield Robinson and
Smoot all voted against the bill be-
cause the provisions for which they
commended throughout the consideration
