= 7 FRANKFoRT, Ky, March 70. : The
! governor did not have ms much raw
! material to work ON Friday as he did
Thursday, SO the number of his vetocs
decreased Friday to four and his APP
prevails to one. The Covington and
Newport members of the legislature
will he greatly disappointed over Fri
! days work, as he vetoed House Bills
234 and 2iS. The first named was for
the benefit of Incorporated districts or
other municipalities not heretofore
assigned To any class of towns, and
was intended for the special benefit of
| Milldale, in Kenton county.
The reason assigned for the veto was
that it was contrary to section 50 Of
the constitution, which provides for
local legislation, and that the statute
already provides me hod for organic.
ing such districts No. 2iS is an act To
provide for the creation and govern
ment of suburban districts near sec
ond-class cities, and was especially in
tended for Highlands, in Campbell
county. 1t was vetoed for exactly the
same reason given for vetoing No. 25i.
House bill PIE, providing that no
contract shall be made to pay a debt
in gold money, was vetoed, because it
= contrary to the United States con.
stitution and laws enacted as to cur
rcncy in pursuance thereof.
! lie also vetoed house bill 29G, to
amend an act relating to fees, 50 that
| clerks, commissioners, receivers, cX-
! aminers and shcriifS of Louisville
! shall report TO the state auditor once a
year, instead of monthly, because it
will operate to increase the salaries OF
the officers mentioned. Therefore it is
in conflict with section lGl of the con-
| Stitution.
The only bill he approved Friday
was the one known as the 'osteopath
bill which provides that all ply
sicians or healcrs who wish to practices
the ir profession in this state shall first
be examined and granted license by
the state board of health. The preS-
dent of the state hoard of health
agreed, however. to examine the ostco-
! paths only in such branches as taught
| in their colleges, and this probably in
! huenccd the governor to sign the bill.
