Quay secured frome Livesy $400,000

Supported Infamous Legislation,
He was an active supporter of
the infamous Puhl bill, designed
to cripple law and order societies
in their war upon the degrading
forms of vice which menace our
great cities; he was a supporter of
the Ehrhardt bills which actually
proposed to protect the unthinkable
white slave dealers in Philadelphia
county. He supported the Susque-
hanna river grab; the Snyder water
works grab; all three of the Phila-
deiphia ripper bills; the Grady-
Salus libel law; the bill authorizing
the county commissioners instead
of the courts of Philadelphia to ap-
point election officers, to further de-
bauch election conditions in Phila-
deliphia. The chief bill to which he
was recorded in opposition was the
bill to increase allowances to the
township high schools.
