Election officers shall be privileged from arrest upon days of election, and while engaged in making up and trans- mitting returns, except upon war- rant of a court of record or a judge thereof, for an election fraud, for felony, or for wanton breach of the peace. In cities they may claim exemption from jury duty during their terms of service. The proposed amendment reads as follows: The Quay Monument. The board of public grounds and buildings at Harrisburg has declined to take action in the matter of the Quay statue, and by resolution adopted at its recent meeting referred the sub- ject to and shifted respons:bility upon the Quay monument commission. This was neither courageous nor consistent. The act of assembly provides that the board of public grounds and buildings and the statue commission shall se- lect the site on the capitol grounds for the monument. As there is not and never has been a monument commis- gion, the board of public grounds and buildings has simply dodged its own obligations by referring them to a Section 14.
