He asked if it was the desire of the members to wait for recruits in order to defeat the veto. He was as- sured to the contrary. Finally vote was taken on the Berney motion result ing as follows: Ayes; Berney, Tacon' smith. Michael, Holt and Oberhaus--6 Nays Lyons, F. J. Inge, Kirkbridge Hale. CarreII--5.
