The Secretary continued the reading of the bill
introduced by MI. EnUs
Mr.. ENos moved that it be referred to the San
Francisco delegation and twice the usual number OF
copies ordered printed
Mr.. NEuMASN moved that it be referred to the
Committee on City and County and Township Gov
ernments.
Mr.. SArrERwHIrE opposed the latter motion on
the ground that it the duty of the San Fran.
cisco delegation to take of, and perfect thi.
bill. The Committee on City and Township Gov-
ernments had all they could do to attend to the
other cities and towns.
Mr. ENos thought that, as the bill referred only
to San Francisco, it ought go to the delegation.
MIR. NEUNANS thought the bill should go to the
standing committee in order to get p oper report
upon it. The bill interested the whole State.
Mr.. luck thought the bill ought to go to the San
Francisc, delegation, as the bill which in
terested that city alone.
Mr.. JOHNSTON was tired Of these arguments about
| reference to the San Francisco delegation, and
threatened to move the previous question.
| Sir. TRAYLoR considered the bill general one
| and thought it ought to go to the standing com
mittee.
| San Francisco delegation and OF the Committee on
| City and Township Governments. He desired tC
it referred to the latter unless that committee
was discharged and all bills providing for city char
tiers be sent to their delegations. He did not wish
to have to examine bills for city governments il
| two different committees.
Mr.. ESos said that at first he was not very siren
uous about the reference of this bill to the Sar
| Francisco delegation but after what he had hearC
| said he was now strenuous i'll favor OF that refer
| ence He believed the delegations from any city
should have the principal say about charters OF tbe
| city 1t did not interfere with the rights Of the
Senate to vote on the measure after it reported
| Mr.. PARDBB favored the reference to the SaI
| Francisco delegation. When bill comes up for
charter for Oakland he should expect that it woult
| be referred to the delegation from Alameda 1t ws,
the business of the San Francisco delegation to It
| tend to bills of this character This Committee or
City and Township Governments knew nothing o
| the wants of San Francisco
| The ayes and noes demanded by Messrs
