Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-01-21

after February Dist Immediately after the
expiration of the morning hour, the order
to continue from day TO day till all bills are
disposed of; provided, however, that the
committee shall not interfere with revenue
or general appropriation bills or prior spe
cial orders. The effect of the resolution
would really be to give the bills providing
for the erection of public buildings the
right of way in the House, an immense
advantage When the Dibble resolution
was presented it was referred to the Com
mittee on Rules, which body yesterday re-
ported indorsing the resolution. In the
report the committee pointed out the
necessity OF passing the resolution, or
etiectually defeat any measure to provide
public buildings throughout the country
If the bills providing for pGstofficeS at San
Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San
Diego, Sacramento and San Jose. which,
under the law must originate in the
House, can once be received from the Pub
lie Buildings Committee of that branch of
Congress, their chances lor becoming laws
are OF the brightest. In view of the COM
manding position of Senator Stanford as
Chairman of the Building Committee of
the Senate, no bill providing for public
buildings can get before the upper branch
without his consent and he can easily
force the home measures ahead.
