over the spportionment bill, and long
and rambling discussion ensued, during
which Mr. Hewitt read the House lecture

agreed that after expiration OF the morning
hour. tomorrow, and one hour for discus

William Ill. Platt was appointed in 1877

Platts duty was merely to that the buildings were

Patts duty to certify bills for services to the buildings

Platt checks with which to pay the bills
