~ HpA'E'DAA9 ~uh' So1AcIs'
III Senate, the Chair nnmed Messrs. Ed
gerton, Lewis and Reemelin as the commit
ttee to examine the books, &c, of the Board
Of Control ofihc State Bank Of Ohio, in ac-
cordanco with the resolution on tho subject
passed yesterday.
Mr.. Lewis asked and obtained leave 10 be
excused from serving on the committee ap-
pointed 10 examine into the books, &c, Of
the Board of Control, and the Chair appoint
ed Mr. Coombs to supply tho vacancy thus
created
Mr.. Goddard introduced d jjoiut resolution,
which was agreed 10, directing the Secretary
Of State to compile and cause to printed, a
full and we'll digested index 10 the general
laws passed since lSa0-4l, and that it be
distributed with the laws and journals.
In the House, the question being on the
adoption ofihe eighth amendment to the ap.
preparation bill, by way Of an additional sec
lion, proposing to limit the Auditor in his
levy Of tax for state, canal, aud school par
poses, 10 three mills on the dollar.
Mr. Trimb'c thought this ar insidious
proposition toropoalihe law Of 1895, author
izing the State Auditor 10 levy such an
amount as would ensure the redemption Of
the State bonds. ,a
Mr.. Warren looked upon the law as neith-
er more or less than law dewiving the
Legislature oflhe taxing power, and it was
necessary 10 resume the power. Tho esii-
mates showed that 3 mills weuld be sufficient
for all purposes and leave asurplus Of $780,
900 and he could seq no good reason for re-
jseting Of tho proposition.
Mr.. ysllandigham showed by the Audit
or's statement that BY q levy Of 3 mills on
the dollar, there would be nearly 100000
over and above all the required expenditures
Of the State. The Auditor should be COM
pctont and honest and his estimates reliable,
and in such case no objection could be ur-
god against making the limitation.
Ii was negaiived; ayes; 80, nays, 3e. "

been referred the petition that The books,
&c, ofmaids and bachelorsin Putnam coun-
ty might bo exempted from taxation, reported
he same back with The expression Of an .
pinicn adverse TO the prayer Of the petition
