I Mr.. Franks demanded the ayes and
nays on his motion, resulting ayes g
franks and Rodey) nays 7.
Mr.. Catroa moved that the council take
up the veto message of the governor and
the bill which he vetoed, being c. B. No
81, relating to certain contingent expenses
of the 2Sth legislative assembly. Carried
and bill taken up.
Mr.. Catron moved to reconsider the
vote by which C. B. No. 81 passed
Adopted.
Mr.. Catron then moved that c. B. No
81 do now pass, the objections Of the
governor to the contrary Notwithstanding
Mr. Catron explaine the bill fully show
ing that the same employees this year Of
he legislature were receiving about 25
per cent less than last session.
Mr.. King explained that by the provi-
5ions of the bill the sum could not be
what the governor stated.
Mr.. Franks said if what the governor
says is true, that it is taking twice as
much to run this session as the last, it
ought to be looked into. He did not be-
lieve that the governor would deliberately
and wilfully state in message an ull-
truth.
MI. Rodey said he only wanted a little
time to see if the governors figures were
'orrect or not, and the enrolled bill
from which to make his own calculation.
Mr.. Perea said: would not vouch for
the governors figures; in fact nobody can
youch for the governors figures. Sup
pose it does cost little more now than
four years ago. Remember four years ago
the legislature met in little, small room
close to the plaza. There was no
need of postmaster, or messenger, hard
ly for page and other employees, now
necessary in this large, fine building.
Mr.. Rodey read from his exact cacula-
ton made from the bill showing the APP
preparations made by the bill were about
49, 900 less than the governor states in his
message; and said he was satisfied that
the governor was mistaken.
The president called Mr.. Perea to the
chair. President Chaves said: 1t seems

this wing of the Democratic party (tht

is true, it ought to be looked into.
Mr.. Jaramillo said: All remember how
