In SENATE, "WEDNESDAY, Jan. q.
A convention of the two branches of Legisla-
ture was proposed and agreed upon, on the part
of the Senate for the choice Of State Treasurer, at
~ o'clock this day.
In the HousE. The committee on State Valn-
alton, reported that they should need ten clerks,
90 be employed under the direction of the COM
mi,tee, at So per day. Mr.. Bryant of Kennebnnk
moved that the report be not accepted. He
thought that among two hundred representatives
the work could be done without hiring clerks
Mr.. Otis Of Hallowel was opposed to hiring ten
clerks, as in 1881, to do all the work of making
the Valuation he had no doubt, however that a
few clerks might be proftably employed so as to
facilitate the labors of the committee and thus
shorten the session He thought S so an ample
price, and six clerks a sufficient number, which
he moved an amendment.
Mr.. Andrews opposed the amendment and pro-
posed that the clerks should be taken from the re-
spective sections of the State.
Mr. Delcsdenicr, moved to amend by taking
the clerks from TIallowell and Augusta-three
from each party.
Mr.. Washburn opposed both amendments
The amendments were tll,rn rejected.
MIR. Morse Of Bath, moved to amend by strik-
tng out ten and inserting "sir' clerks. He
believed, according to the information he could
obtain that number would be sufficient if not,
more could be employed at any time
Mr.. Otis of ST. George advocated, and Mr.. An
.drews of Turner opposed, the amendment.
Mr. MoRsE explained, that he Lad made this
motion compromise: many were opposed to
employing clerks at ALL and others thinks ten are
necessary He was convinced that clerks were
necessary, and if his amendment should not pre-
vail, he hoped the report would be accepted and
ten employed.
This amendment was also lost-i0 10 90 and
after one or two similar amendments, the whole
subject was laid on the table
