Line 59: Shute's disagreements with the assembly also extended to its ability to adjourn for short periods of time. The assembly could only formally be called into session and adjourned by the governor, and provided one means by which the governor could control the assembly; Shute took issue with a temporary adjournment of six days.<ref>Bushman, p. 113</ref> This dispute combined with his refusal to approve Cooke's appointment prompted the assembly to become strongly opposed to Shute on virtually all actions. This recalcitrance extended to a denial of any attempts on the part of the governor to fund the improvement of defenses on the province's northern and eastern frontiers, where there were ongoing difficulties with the [[Wabanaki Confederacy]].<ref>Hart, pp. 2:130–131</ref> OnOne of Shute's more notorious controversies concerned the assembly's refusal to grant him a regular salary. This was a frequent source of dispute, and it spilled over into other matters: Shute's veto of Cooke's appointment in 1719 resulted in a reduction of his salary grant.<ref name=Hart130>Hart, p. 2:130</ref> The salary issue would continue to be a regular source of disagreement between the provincial assembly and the governor until the Belcher administration of the 1730s.<ref>Hart, pp. 2:139</ref> Shute attempted to impose press censorship after Cooke partisans published pamphlets harshly criticizing his policies, but the assembly refused to pass the proposed legislation, effectively legitimizing [[freedom of the press]] in the province.<ref name=Hart130/> Boston's conservative religious establishment also expressed reservations over his attendance at [[Church of England\|Anglican]] church services, as well as his sometimes ostentatious and loud parties.<ref>Batinski, p. 39</ref> ===Indian policy===
