A HARMONY
MEASURE

mission, vote to that end being taken
on the "harmonized" bill presented
last night at the regular meeting.
Chairman Cooper, Commissioners
Crabbe, Fernandez anu Stewart voted
in favor of the bill as it stood, and
Commissioner Watson concurred in Ill
except that the bill restricted the coun-
ties from levying taxes, which he de-
clared to be the fundamental principle
of county government. Take that away
and county government as a term
meant nothing.
The "harmorized bill so passed
will be again revised for minor correc-
tions made, and when ready, final
meeting of the Commissions will be
called, when signatures will be attach
ed, and the bill formally accepted. The
act will then be forwarded to Governor
Carter, with report thereon written
by Chairman Cooper.

printed bills recently distributed in the
city, and presented the following re-
port on the same:
