Mr.. w. d. Anderson rose TO q
question Of privilege and informa
ton, He wanted to know Of the
Chairman OF the Finance Committee

of L. N. Goodman q Co. printers,
of Marietta, had not been reported
by that Committee. He desired "a
know how he could compel tho Com
mittee to return the bill. He meant
no reflection on any meme brs of the
Committee. His object was TO get
the bill before the House in time ia
set upon it this session.
Members of the Committee replied
that the claim was SO enormous, be-
ing in total 5000, and involved SO
many questions, that they had been
unable to report.
Mr.. McWhorter, Of Greene, offer
ed a resolution instructing the FL
nance Committee to report all bills
relating to printing and advertising
rewards, to the House by 3 p. NJ,
tomorrow The resolution was
agreed t.,
There could be no difficulty in
reporting upon the bill of the jour
NAL OFFICE which amounts to
s6l4 90 and not to $1,000 as might
be inferred. The facts are that the
printing was done in accordance
with an official order that the
vouchers we're all before the Com

whatever, except as to whether the
State should or not repudiate an of
fetal obligation.
