The scene of the day was enacted when
No. 10 for third reading was reached, it
being the bill introduced by Mr.. Hicks, by
request, providing that in counties of
10000 and less population the county
commissioners should be prohibited from
expanding larger sum than $4,000 for
county buildings unless authorized to do
80 by vote of the people. To make
the situation plain it should be
stated that it is claimed the
influences Nonresident pine land owners)
through which this bill was in
troduced, and is supported, opposed the
bill which was passed, introduced by the
delegation representing Todd, allowing
the commissioners of that county to bond
the county for $4,000 for court house
purposes To kill that bill the Todd dele
CATION claim is the sole purpose of the
Hicks limiting bill, and hence they
have opposed it, though they could
not master sufficient strength to
get it indefinitely postponed in committee
of the whole. When it was reached on the
calendar, friends of the bill moved to adj
journ. Lost on division.
Mr.. Frank, of Mower, then moved that
the calendar be proceeded with and the
bill acted upon.
Mr.. J. E. Child moved to lay the bill on
the table, which motion was voted down,
only to be followed by another motion to
adjourn, which met with like fate.
The roll was then called upon the bill
resulting, yeas, 80; nays, Sc, SO the bill was
lost.
Mr.. Bobleter moved to reconsider the
vote by which the bill was lost, Mr.. Grim
shaw seconding the motion.
With that Speaker Fletcher, calling Mr..
Rahilly to the chair, and stepping upon the
floor, said in the ten years he had been in
the legislature he had never seen proceed
ing of the kind, when with bare quorum
of members in attendance and the mover
of the bill absent Mr.. Hicks had left the
room but short time before) motion
was made to reconsider the vote by which
q bill was lost, so as to shut off all chance
for saving the bill.
Mr.. Grimshaw said he had never been a
member, but he believed when an obnox
ious bill was killed to kill 1t
beyond the hope of resurrection.
Messrs. Brown and Buck explained that
they were not aware of the absence of the
gentleman who introduced the bill, but
understanding such to be the case should
oppose the motion.
Mr.. Bobleter then explained that he
made the motion in good faith to save the
bill, not to kill it, and should therefore
withdraw it.
The house then adjourned upon the mo-
ion of Speaker Fletcher.
