Since State Senator Andrew E.
Durham (Dem.), Greencastie. did
not feel that his conscience would
permit him to take the 1922 salary
check. representing the 81 daily in
crease pay which the 1927 Legisla-

not have signed u pay voucher for
that amount.
Such was the comment Of State
Auditor l.. S. Bowman in reply to
a letter from Durham containing
the returned check. Bowman point
ed out that he acted upon Attorney
General Arthur L. Gilliom's advice
in withholding payment until the
Supreme Court decided that it was
legal.
Durham had signed for the ex-
ira 81 and so he got it, Bowman
said. The check will be held until
the end of the fiscal year, and I'M
less the Senator changes his mind,
it will then be turned over to the
State treasury.

streets were jammed likewise under
Louis XIV.
Some one has dug out of the writ

sand carriages In those days. There
are about zoe, 900 vehicles of all sorts
running about Paris today. :
During the two and half centuries
there has been periodical lamentation
about the impossibility of safely navi-

do not give the number of accidents

sword play, but IL is believed to have
been approximately what it is today.
