affect those securities. !
Mr.. Lee opposed the amendment offered
BY the Speaker, on the score Of economy.
The Speaker was not tenacious. He sim
ply desired to place a suficiency of money
in the Treasury to run the State on cash
basis. m
Mr.. Brown favored the amendment. The
House had already passed bill apporton-
ing $4,000 of the monies which is TO DC
realized by the sale OF bonds to the Legisla.
tive Fund. That would leave balance Of
$4,000 for miscellaneous expenses: HaV-
ing ascertained the amount OF taxable prop
erty to be twenty-five millions, he said that
the tax of one per cent. on the taxable prop
erty property provided for would result IN
revenue of S250,0O0. Hence he was in favor
Of the amendment.
Mr.. Rosenblatt opposed the amendment:
If the amount provided in the bill should
prove inadequate, it would be very easy
matter for this Legislature towards the close
of the session, to pass another bill authoriz-
ing the issuance of $50 900 more of the
bonds. There was very little doubt but that
the tax proposed would more than cover the
proposed issuance. For the ensuing year it
had been estimated that there would be S29,-
600, 900 real estate, etc., and five millions OF
gross proceeds of mines, making in all thirty
four millions Of taxable property. The tax
provided would bring revenue of $34O,0OO
annually.
The hour Of two having arrived, which was
the time fixed for the consideration OF the
special order of the day-the Specific Con-
tract Act-the Committee refused to rise.

The motion to recommit prevailed,
While the bill was Ill the hands Oh the Com,
mittee, the question Of deferring the special
order-the Specific Contract Act-Was taken
up. ...
A motion was made to defer the special
order till next wednesday, ana advocated oy
Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. benson favored giving the House am
pie time for the consideration OF the Dill, but
thought that Wednesday next was too long
time TO defer the question. He said the bill
was in his opinion unconstitutional, and he
had accordingly drawn up a substitute.
Mr.. Lee moved to amend so as to make the
bill, the special order for this afteroon. He
said that in his opinion the bill was uncon-
stitutional as passed BY the Senate. He de-
sired to consider the bill, but did not expect
to pass it this afternoon.
Here large number OF members lndulged
in AZ irregular debate, during which many
points Of order were raised.
