The bill No. 32Os, to detach certain
property from Forest county and at
tach it to the counties OF Oneida and
Villas, and create the town Of Cavour
in Forest county, was special order at
II O'Clock. Senator McMulen, who
opposes The bin, is i'll, and Senator
Roehr read telegram from him asking
that action be delayed. Senator Rior-
dan. who introduced the bill, thought
the delay was for the purpose OF killing
the bin, which he stated was a purely
local measure. Senators Whitman,
Baxter and Mailer thought 1t was time
the bill was acted on. After an amend
mtnt by Senator Rioruan had been
adopted and two by senator MeNlullen
defeated, the question came on en-
grussEent aud third reading of the
bill. Senator Putnam then asked for
TN explanation of the real purpose of
the pll, said it was to relieve property
owners In the territory TO be detached
from excessive taxation. He said L.
800 residents had been called upon to
pay tax ut $4,000. Their only re-
lief was through this measure, The
bill was ordered to englossment and
third reading. An attempt to have 1t
passed under suspension OF the rules
failed. the vote being 10 to 10. one short
OF the necessary two-thirds.
