BOND BILL FURRY.
Senator Kinds, to whom was referred Senate
Fill No. 81, providing for ascertaing the cost
of the state railroad bonds, reported the same
back with recommends ton that Senate File
No. 9, the bond bill, be recalled from the
house, and that the two bills be referred to a
special committee consisting of Senators Pow
ers, D. Buck and Wheat to combine the two
bills into one and report the same for action.
Senator Castle thought the recommends
ton was childs play. The senate had passed
the bond bill by a three-fourths vote, and it
was a waste of time and beneath the dignity
of the senate to attempt to recall it in the
manner proposed.
Senator Kinds argued that the two measures
naturally went together, and that as senate
file 81 had not yet been considered in detail
No. 9 should be withdrawn to be considered
with it.
Senator J. B. Gilfllan raised the point of
order that the No. 9 could not be withdrawn
in the manner proposed, but withdraw his
point at the request of Senator Campbell, who
moved to lay the report on the table, which
motion was adopted by ''large majority"
