At 1l35 Rep. kaulukou moved the Order Of the
Day, and the consideration of the Appropriation
Bill IN Committee Of the Whole was the proposed
special order for the attention of the Assembly.
The form in which the Appropriation Bill Lad
been printed again created Comment from the
members, and before the Assembly dissolved the
Secretary asked If he had the original Bill
Secretary Pierce stated that it was not in his
possession.
The Minister Of Finance stated that he thought
the original copy Of the bill vas still in the hands
Of the printers not having been returned. Thought
there vas no reason why the Assembly could not
20 on with the consideration of the Bill, printed.
He moved that one OF the printed copies of the
Bill be used and read. Not seconded.
Representative NaWahfsaid that this was another
instance of the slack way in which the Ministers
performed their duties II the bill was read from
the printed form and not from the original manu-
script a precedent would be established which
would, in the future, allow of member having
lost his original copy of bull TO present II in any
form be choose and say " let this be used" 1t
NAV be that, when the original Of this Bill Is
found, il would be different from the printed copy.
he thought 1t proper that the original bill should
be in the archives of the Assembly. Surprising
case, the speaker said, if the printed copy was
lost what would then be shown. He moved the
posiponement of the consideration until 10 O'Clock
as in the meantime the original might be found.
Representative Dole considered the motion TO
consider the Bill now out of order. The bill pre-
bented was a loose arrangement, the title of it
SAYS "For the biennial period ending 1886 the
second Section says, period ending 1881 :" The
Minister of Finance knows that 1t is not correct
COPY, be would not certify TO it such. This ac-
ton is in keeping with Others of the Cabinet dur
inc the past two years. Very clear that since it
was printed it had never been compared with the
original copy. The Minister of Finances report
was so full of errors that the Minister had to
withdraw il, and present new one. Who can ties
tlfy to the correctness Of this bill He moved
adjournment until p. m. CARED.
