from the city to the sea, a distance OF
seven miles. 1t was absolutely neceS-
sary, he said, that the city should be
protected, as it was in constant dah-
gers of diseases of contagious ma
t,lre arising from the unsewered sur
roundings.
Smith said if the people of such
district were to have such sewerage
connections they should be allowed to
vote on the question at a special OF
other election.
Dickinson offered an amendment.
which was adopted, striking out the
words adult population" and inserting
the words resident electors" AS SO

The bill will probably be further amend

HORSESHOEING BILL PASSED
Cobb's bill, rs, to regulate the prac-
tice of horseshoeing, providing for the
registration of master and journeymen
hoyseshoers, the appointment of Board
OF Examiners, determining the powers
and duties of such board, and fixing a
penalty for violation of the provisions
of the Act, was taken UP.
Smith attacked that portion of the
bill which provided that the Board OF
Examiners should consist of five mem
bers and Secretary, none of whom
should receive more than So per day.
and whose wages should depend upon
fees arising from certificates issued.
He contended that no capable smith
would act on such board for a sum
10 ton, Inv
expenses. He figured that in order to
pay the salaries of the members OF the
board ten certificates would have to be
issued daily, and he suggested that,
should dishonest men get on the board,
when applicants for exam
nations were scarce, such applicants
might be bled for the benefit of the
members of the board. He protested
against the passage of the bill.
Curtin opposed the bill in a vigorous
speech, and Sims followed, and handled
Taylor's speech of Wednesday without
gloves. He thought the bill was the
most vicious kind of class legislation
1t would work hardships upon smiths,
who would be obliged to go before the
examiners and pay their So for Ii
cerpse, and afterward pay for having
the same recorded in the Office of the
County Clerk.
Gillette also declared the bill to be a
vicious one, as it required that all APP
rlicants for certificates should have
served two years as horseshoers' ap-
prentices. He said that, regardless OF
the fact that a man might be conduct
ing a blacksmith shop, he would be
shut out unless he had served such an
apprenticeship.
Taylor closed the debate with strong
appeal for the bill. He called attention
to the fact that men were not allowed
TO shoe army mules unless they first
passed examinations and We're found to
be experts, and he submitted that his
horse was as good as Government
mule.
Curtin wanted to know why mules
had not been mentioned in the bill
TAYLOR referred to the Supreme Court
of TEXAS, which had declared mule to
be a horse.
Gillette suggested that that was a
horse on Taylor
The speechmaking being concluded,
the roll was called, and the bill was
