The undersigned, a minority Of the Commit
tee on Contingent Expenses, to whom was re-
ferred
House bill No. 49, "making an appropria-
ton for the payment of the mileage and per
diem of the members, etc, beg leave to re-
port
That they cannot recommend the passage
N the same to the House, for the following
reasons:
/. That the subject matter of said bill is
more properly cognzabe by the Committee
Of the House on Appropriations or Ways and
Means.
and is. therefore, violative Of amendment No.
3 Of the State constitution.
g. That the policy of making appropriations
by detail and by several acts is vicious. and
that all appropriations for the year should be
as far as possible cumulated in one, the gene
raj appropriation bill.
4. That this will ia Il great measure defeat
the just and proper efforts now being made
in the Legislature equalzing the construc-
tive compensation and mileage, unfairly
and unjustly fixed by the act of 1879.
