the fact that the last meeting II was decided to

effect was on the point OF being carried. when the
clerk announced that he had received no reply to
a request that the collector furnish list Of names
of those persons who had paid taxes since the list

publishing the names of people who might have paid

announced that the collector still held the warrants
for unpaid personal taxes. which had not yet been
placed In the hands OF constable. ana Borough
Marshal Cook was instructed to get the warrants

Senator Stokes charmed the Senate this after
noon by his eloquence in defending bill pro-
hibiting men from working on oyster boats who
have not been residents Of the State for SIX
months previously Senator Rogers vainly at
tempted to kill the BILL but he finally succeeded in
having II laid over.
Some OF Senator Stokes's hearers misunder-
stood him when he said II do not appeal to
Senatorial courtesy. for the epitaph Of that was
written in the Governors inaugural" That was
enormously construed by some to mean that the
Senator and the Governor were not on good
terms On the contrary. they are warm friends
personally and politically. Senator Stokes's re-
marks were merely rhetorical reference 10 this
paragraph In the Governors inaugural message:
"And let II be remembered that In the discharge
of the duty Of legislator there can be no con-
sideraton for such things as courtesy to fell
low-member or TO the introducer of a bill when
the rights Of the people of the State are to be af-
fected.
