drag over the line the one senator
necessary to carry it over the veto

twenty-three for the bill and eleven
against it. Senator Blakely was the
only man absent. He went against
the bill when it was brought up
for consideration. and the vote was
twenty-three to twelve. Those who
switched their votes and voted TO
sustain the veto finally were Sena-

to have this work done without an!

to this the MAYOR was authorized
to purchase a complete scavengel
