Councillor E. Snow presented tn
financial report of Washington
County for the years 1889, and
asked their reference to the com
mittee on revenue.
Councillor Thurber remarked thai
county financial reports had usually
been presented in the House, had al
been referred to one committee, and
ordered printed at the close OF the
session.
Councillor Snow said he had no OBJ
lection to this branch taking such a
course, but he wanted to have them
printed for the use of the Assembly,
and not pocketed by committeeman
or committed to the waste. basket. He
wished it spread upon the minutes and
then referred to committees. If this

repeating the law authorizing the
making OF them out, and thus saving
county clerks their labor Of preparing
them. He offered to withdraw the
report and hand it to a member of
the House for its introduction in that
body.
Councillor Caine moved to accept
the report and refer it 10 the COM
mittee on printing, with instructions
to confer with the committee of the

report printed.
Councillor Thurber reiterated his
and said he did not see
the wisdom of dividing these reports,
as some county reports had already
been presented in the House. II the

it would stand on record that they
had ordered the printing of one soil

l little lonely on the part of the
Council.
