Mr. Cosad declared that the only opposi-
ton 10 the bill in Waterloo was from Cap
tain Hamilton Ward, portion OF whose
property is 10 be condemned for disposal
plant.
II understand that there are twenty-five
friends of Captain Ward who also object
10 the proposition" said Mr.. Oliver.
twenty-five certainly ought not to hold
up village OF five thousand" said MIR.
Cosad.
We'll, II thirty men can hold up nine
million don't see why twenty-five
shouldn't hold up five thousand" retorted
Mr.. Oliver.
This bill has got nothing 10 do with the
election OF a United States Senator by the
Legislature" said Mr.. Cosad. 1T has been
held UP for the last two years. and Is
being held up now through mere cussed-
ness. In the mean time people In Waterloo

years OF age.
A series Of military measures. recon-
mended by the adjutant general and intro
duced by Assemblyman Cuvillier, the chair
man of the Military Committee, were also
passed. One decreases from five TO three
years the term OF enlistment for the ma
tional guard. By this measure Mr., cuvillier
said II is hoped 10 bring the number Of en-
listed men in the state up 10 the full quota
% Is, 900, for which the federal government
gives the state an appropriation. He said
at present there were only fifteen thousand
men in the guard, and the reason this num-
Der did not get any higher was because
men objected to enlisting for the longer
/ term. Another one of the series provides
that employees OF armories shall have four
! teen days vacation in the summer, with
I full pay.
