That the sum of S., 900, or as much
thereof as may be necessary, is hereby ap-
propriated out Of any funds in the State

the purpose of carrying out the provisions
Of this act.
Mr.. Burch made the point of order that
the sum of SS5,O00 is intended only to en-
able the State registrar Of voters to carry
out the provisions of the preceding section,
relative to furnishing blanks, stationery,
ETC., and not to pay the salary of the super
visors of registration and their clerks, in
consequence thereof the Senator from
Ouachita was out of order.
Mr.. Wharton, in the chair, did not sustain
the point of order, and gave the following
reason for his ruling:
That the section was now subject to
amendment; that it was not within the
knowledge of the Chair to what extent the
Senator from Ouachita intended to so
amend. He might, for instance, propose to
make his amendment of $S5. 900 cover all |
contemplated in the act, and |
therefore could not be required to contine |
his argument to one series of contemplated
expenses only, but could show in argument |
the entire sum the act would require to |
carry.its provisions into effect.
The section as amended was then adopted. |
Section thirteen was then read as section |
