Sufficient Majority in Ssdsts
= to Garry Measure Over :
Any Possible Veto
GOES TO CONFERENCE

Washington, April 23.-The senate,
following in the footsteps Of the house,
PASSED the soldier bonus measure bill
today by majority sufficient to carry
it over presidential veto. The vote
was 81 to II.
President Coolidge has declared
against bonus, but proponents of this
particular kind Of adjusted compensa-
tion legislation are hopeful that it will
meet with his approval. Before the
bill reaches him, however, it must 60
to conference for adjustment Of minor
differences with the house. Assured by
Republican leaders that they would
vote to overrule a veto Of the bill, but
would support q veto Of cash bonus
measure, the senate resisted all efforts
to add . cash option.
The test on this question came with
the rejection, ~ to 3S, Of an amend
ment by Senator Copeland Democrat,
New York, which would have left with
',Nhe former service men the choice Of
full cash payments or the insurance
certificates provided for in both the
senate and house bills.
Many Democratic senators who
voted for the measure in its present
form have denounced 1t a. ennis
taken makeshift" and "gold brick"
and formal notice was given that at
some future time efforts would be
made to amend it so as to enable the
veterans to get cash.
The final vote on the bill, seven
Democrats and eight Republicans op'
posed it, while 83 Republicans, 81
Democrats, and two Farmer-Labor SEN
ators supported It.
On the rollcall both Senators Phippa
and Adams Of Colorado voted for the
measure.

Iron County news. [volume] (Hurley, Wis.) 1913-1950, 1924-11-29

The matter of snow plows and
keeping open of the county's high
ways during the winter came in for
considerable discussion, as did also
the matter of motor graders to
supplant the horse power now used
by patrolmen.
A petition was filed with the
board asking that Highway n be
keptopen during the winter between
Montreal and Iron Belt. Many of
the board members were in favor of
keeping the county's main highways
open during the winter, maintaining
that it was the proper thing to do,
but admitting that the highway snow
removal problem was a difficult
one.
The board finally voted to pur-
chase two snow plows and the road
and bridge committee was instructed
to use its discretion in the matter Of
the highways that would be kept
open. One of the plows will be of
the rotary type, the other of the
wing type.
In connection with the snow re
moval problem the board decided TO
have snow fences erected erected at
a number Of places along county
highways where the snow drifts
badly. The board voted to pur-
chase $500 feet Of material for
making snow fences at ? ice Of
Z x cents per foot,
An appropriation Of 5000 was
voted to the Iron County Humane
society. which was organized several
weeks ago with George Gerry as
president.
