recommended that the salary DC
fixed at $4,000, but there WAS no wa Y
for the recommendation to be com
piled with. the Legislature Being in

bers present IN either branch. The
salary OF the commissioner, in conse-

then built Its own sewer, aud the
charge now is that the river above the
town is now polluted and the change
is necessary for tn benefit of the
town. The governor says IS Marion
