snails imported to the extent of about
$4,000, but the snail trade SO dwin-
died, showing only $24 of imports in

and one permitted to become a law
without signature.
The bill vetoed was the Elson bill
not the telephone merger bill, for that

measure to continue as permanent a
special additional Judge in Tuscarawas
county.
Gov. Harmon found on examination
that the first election under the bill
judge has served only two years of
his six-year term. AS his reason for
vetoing the bill the governor said in
his message:
The actual public need, which
alone can justify the creation of a
new Office to be maintained by taxa
ton, can not be passed on four years
in advance so well as later when the
real conditions to be met will be
known to a certainty"
The bill the governor permitted to
become a law without his signature
was that by Representative L. K

to county officials their salaries when
