which had been given to the public as
those fixed by the committee for the pay OF

been considered as Il just compensation to
the doctors: Bliss, $4,000; Agnew and
Hamilton, $4,000 each; Rcybun and
Boynton, $4,000 each; Miss Edison, $1,000;
Cramp, $1,000; and ali the other employees
OF the house two months extra pay.

members OF the Committee met, and al.
though they determined upon these figures,
they determined not to make them public

member Of the Committee present was
placed under Il strict injunction Of secrecy,
and the figures furnished at that time were
without foundation in fact.
