final passage.
BRAUNHARTS AMENDMENT.
Braunhart offered an amendment to
Section 8 of the bill, providing for the
Insertion of San Francisco among the
ether counties named. He thought it
but justice that the money to be drawn
from San Francisco should be expend-
ed upon the roads and highways of that
city. Should the amendment be adopt
ed, he would withdraw his opposition.
Boyce said he did not imagine for one
instant that the amendment would be
adopted, and the fact that Braunhart
had offered the amendment, ought to
be the best argument that could be
advanced for its defeat.
Bulla and Pedlar also opposed the
amendment and Mahoney and Braun
hart spoke for its adoption.
