to have made the protest against the
tax was when the real estate was
appraised.
In vetoing the municipal reference
bureau bill the Governor refers to the
increased cost II would entail and says:
'The legislative reference bureau is
now doing much OF this work-as much
as II is capable OF doing without erect
ing a bureau on scale vastly larger and
more expensive than this contemplates."
He adds that until 1t Is definitely settled
what should be done 1t is well to let the
matter rest.
In vetolng the increase OF 81 per day
to IS per day for registers appraisers, the
Governor says:
The Increase is not generally war
ranted," adding Men should serve re-

should be allowed to act"
