House bin, No. 90, 70 repeal the act provid-
iGg for the publication Of general laws iu news
papers. was taken up and discussed on amoliOn
to strike out the arst section.
Mr.. Potts said not over one half the people
took newspapers publishing the laws. and no.
one tenth read them. The people never asked
for their qualifications, but they do ask to be re-
lisved from the burden of taxation. Quite a
sum would be saved by disseminating the pub
licatiOn'Ofths lawsSabOus $4,000 q year be
thought. lie hoped The bill 70 rePeal would
pass.
Mr.. MeFsrland was OF the opinion there was
no mode by which the laws could be got so ear
ly and so cheaply before the people as by the
law L is pioposed to repeal. The practice Is TO
publish only such laws as are Of general inter-
est and the estimate of cost is much too large.
Mr.. Weatherby thought the people had got
along very well for fifty years without any
| newspaper publication of the laws. Few read
the laws, and no benefit was derived from their
publication. Il was money thrown away, and
S5O, 900 year would be saved TO taxpayers
by the passage Of this bill. .
