forty-one precincts and by so doing figure i
a ma iority of 1877 for Wagner.
This unseating Of Butler is the second in
the Fifty-seventh Congress something that
no other congressman ever experienced.

Richardson. the minority leader, met Mr.
Dalzell OF Pennsylvania and notified him
that If the committees report on the Wag n
ner- Butler contest was taken up no further
business would be transacted in the House

increased, no esiin ate OF cost being given,
and the building Of three add tional piers
at a total cost of 1900 900,
