REMARKS.
ad S 8, 1st part: The Majority considers the
tax proposed in the Draft 81 high,
that it might easily prevent tie pr&o-
tice ami development III the use of
firearms among the population, which
however, ought 10 he encouraged;
therefore we propose that the tax be
lowered to 5 francs on every lire.rm.
ad So, Fad part: It is considered advisable
to add the words here PROPOSE IN
order to remove all doubts "a to the
extent OF the exemption in question.
Ad 8, Bird part: The Maj prity approves that
Estates be allowed to keep 3 pieces
of firearms without paving tax, viz
every property Of $50 acres of land or
upwards; the Majority hnus, how
ever, that there Is the same necessity
to allow the same privileges TO Cen
trail Factories i'll the Country Dis
tricts, which are not always connected
with the cultivation OF the soil. The
Majority therefore proposes a rev
part 3, expressing at the same time
more clearly the intent OF tie eXemp-
ton than is The case with Bird part of
this paragrarh as wordtd i'll the Draft.
Ad s 8, 4th pait. The Majority finds it more
appropriate to place a full stop after
the word ''control," AID to strike out
the rest of The part, which is consl-
dored as going beyond tho mark.
ad S4, 4:h part; This alteration is necessary,
as the Daft deals only With t. Croix.
ad new s 6. as proposed by the MAJ ority
The Majority finds that there are so
many dangers and inconvenience re.
su,ting from the use of firearms by
children and youths, that a clause to
the effect proposed in this amendment
seems requisite.
nd 6 and s 7 Of the Draft. The amendments
here proposed are necessary if the
new s 6 proposed by the Majority be
embodied in The Ordinance.

the visitors will certainly show the

years In which the Angolas have been
playing they have lost but one game
and have apparently met about all the
teams In Ohio. as their schedule has
been busy one from the start. The
