announcement that only ono candidate, personal

BILL TO CORRECT DISCRIMINATION.
Nathan P Bushnell Says. Measure to Give
Assessors Pay Is Right.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue of to-day among the Westminster
County news items you refer to n bill introduced
by Mr.. Apgar, by which assessors are to receive
extra per diem pay for meeting with the So
called jurors board You state that such bill will
provoke opposition from town boards because no
provision IS made therein for pay 10 the members
of the latter and thus the impression would exist
that the bill would result in discrimination against
them.
AS matter of fact the bill is to correct pres
ent discrimination against the assessors, and was
drawn by me because of that fact. The Town Clerk
receives pay for such meeting under Chapter 3ii
of the Laws Of 1882 and the justices Of the peace
under the decision in the matter of Hampstead. re-
ported Sc. App. Div. 32l Only the assessors now
receive pay and the bill is intended to place
them equality with the other members Of
that body. NATHAN p. BUSHNELL.
