Mr. Brown moved that the bill be ordered
printed. He was in favor of printing all bills
of a general character.
Mr.. Gray hoped the bill would not be or
dered printed. The printing bill of the
Legislature the first session was S24, 900, and
for the las. session $4,000 in gold; and if
all the bills of the present session were to be
printed the cost to the State would be at least
$4,000.
Mir. Welty hoped that the bill would not
be ordered printed. As it was very short it
could be read for mformation, which would
answer every purpose.
Mr.. Hall wished to be able to act intelli-
gently upon such measures came I'D, and |
thought the bill should either be read, SO
hat it might be understood, or else ordered |
printed. He was opposed to the constant
of the rules, reference of bills
hus far.
Mr.. Brown thought printing bills matter
If economy.
Mr.. Monroe believed it useless expense
n the present instance.
Mr.. Welty called for the reading of the
ill. Accordingly the Secretary read it. The
ill is copy Of the Acts heretofore passed
n the same subject.
Mr.. Edwards suggested that the Act could
e found in the statutes of 1867, which ob-
lated the necessity Of printing.
