ter up more than a month ago, and
q majority Of the members thought a

discovered at the beginning of the
present session, however, that form
al action had not been taken, and
Assistant Attorney General Bronson
the councils legal advisor, was di-
rected to prepare a resolution. As
adopted, the resolution requires 4S
hours productive labor each week
from every ablebodied man between
the ages of Is and so, and declares
a vagrant any person within these

solution is expected to help with the

the hay crop this .ear is a failure.
Haydn the older settled con1muniti-
