1T WANTED MORE.
| On motion, the special order the
county government billy was continued,
and newspaper claims bills were taken
UP. Everything moved along smoothly
until the substitute for the San Fran
cisco Examiners" bill was reached.
The original bill was for $500, and
| the committee had cut the amount to
$4,000.
Bettman, speaking, he said, for the
| Examiner" protested against the
adoption of the substitute Davis and
others pointed out that other papers
had taken their medicine at the hands
of the committee, and it was only just
that the Examiner do likewise. Bett-
mans demand awaited little, and the
substitute was adopted by a vote Of
| p to IL.
| Then Bettman, still speaking for the
Examiner asked permission to with
draw the bill. The bluff was a safe
one. Bettman knew that once the sub
| stitute had been adopted, under an ur-
gency resolution that it could not be
withdrawn. The request was ruled out
of order and the bill passed.
