beg leave 10 report as follows: With re-
gard to the pay of the Secretary, your
committee had under contemplation

serted in the rules of the House, but as
they were unable to agree, your committee
recommend that the Secretary be paid S12
for each days services.
Your committee are OF opinion the duties
of the Interpreter are very important and
arduous. and that there are very few peo-
pie who would be able to do the work as IL
Is being done by the present Interpreter
Your committee took into consideration
the propriety Of increasing the pay per day
to De allowed the Interpreter, but at the
same time we are having 1t constantly
called to our attention that we must econo-
mize in our expenses, therefore your com
mittee would respectfully recommend that
the Interpreter be paid at the rate OF SD
per day.
With regard TO the pay Of Messenger and
Janitor your committee are Of opinion
that the duties of these two officers may
not be 50 hard As those OF common work
ing men who work outside for a living.
No doubt the work required from an out
door laborer Is harder. But, after care full
consideration, your committee recommend
they be paid a. follows for the days only of
the meeting of the House. Messenger.
81 so; Janitor, 81
With these recommendation YOUR com
uittee recommend the resolution pass.
