Senator McMahus objected 10 the Cullen
measures on the ground that they had
something to do with the Mcclellan Walker

he said, because they can't become effec-
tive until after the Mcclellan Walker bin
is disposed Of. and the way things LOOK
now that bill won't be passed by this
house.
The Mcclellan Walker bill was also
drafted by Dock Commissioner Tomkins.
