| He was opposed to the bill at first, but upon
examination of its merits, be had come to
see that it was really good bill and one
that should be passed It would save expense 1
to the State in facilitating the business of the
Legislature. 1t is enough for him to know
that the Clerks, Secretaries and all the cler-
ical force about the State House are in fsyor
of the bill 1t has been tried in New
/ Hampshire aud worked admirably; and he
could see no valid reason why it should not
work well here.
