societies in Sacramento and elsewhere
in San Francisco there was no need
for such an arrangement, and it was
not wanted by the members of the
society.
Doty said the editorial in the "Rec-
ord Union" voiced the expression OF

felt satisfied that the bill as it came
from the Assembly would kill every
humane society outside of San Fran

adopt any measure so sweeping in its
character and effect

when they ought to go into the school
fund, where they properly belonged.
| Rowell said that regardless of the
editorial of the Record tnion,' he
would vote with Leavitt for an amend
ment to have money collected for fines
go into the treasury, but he would vote
for no amendment which would take
away from the society all State aid.
