. ORDER OF rHF bay.

Consideration OF the Appropriation bill
in committee, Hon. :. c. Wilder in the
chair
Hon. J. :. Walker moved the committee
take up the department OF the Board Of
Education.
Mr.. Castle thought that before taking up
this department they should have the re-
port OF the Board OF Education before
them. He moved they pass TO the Board
OF Health department. Carried.
Secretary Board of Health $4,000.
MI Dickey moved it pass at 1000, the /
same as last session. The work in that de- |
partment was done well, but there was no
need for such a large salary.
Mr.. KaulukOu moved the item pass as in
the bill Carried
Leper Settlement. $1,000
Hon c. r. Bishop said that before this
item was acted upon they should have the
report Of the Finance Committee. 1t was
a large amount and probably it was all
needed. No one begrudged the money for
the lepers if it was only spent properly.
! There was large sum put down for sun
| dries, and the House had right to know
whether it was spent III an economical as
large amount spent III the last biennial
| period he did not remember seeing any adj
vertised tenders for supplies called for.
Things are Jumped together i'll such way
as to appear suspicious. So that everyone
might know how the money had been
spent, he would move that the item be de
ferred until after the Finance Committee
reported.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson said he
rather agreed with the motion of the hon
orabIe Noble. The item was a large one,
and presented as it was it did not give the
details sufficiently for those who wanted 10
look into the matter. To have published a
list of vouchers would have taken up page
upon page of the report of the Board OF
Health. The item mentioned as "sun-
dries was indefinite to those who wanted
to be exact. There was a well qualified
Finance Committee, and he felt satisfied
they would be enabled to present very
infinitely every item in the expenditure
The committee could examine every bill
He had in his hand batch of bills from
more than thirty different dealers in this
city, all of which were included in 'sun
dries" Nothing could be more complete
} | than what had been presented to the Fl
; nance Committee. As this committee haC
a great deal of work to do, it would per
haps be better for them to report from
time to time. He felt perfectly satisfied ;
proper statement could be furnished o
every item yet it would be better for tn
4. committee to see that the money had beer
reasonably spent
