Points of Interest to Delegates to the Con-
stitutional Convention.
o. G. White, secretary Of the territory OF
Washington, has received the following let
ter from the first controller Of the treasury
in relation to the pay Of members OF the
convention. He says:
am in receipt of your letter OF the 10th
inst, in which you refer to the act Of con-
gress, approved April 20, 1889, providing
for the admission Of Washington; and you
request full instructions in regard to the
expenditure Of the 20, 600 appropriated for
the expenses Of holding the convention. you
desire to be especially informed as to the
per diem to be allowed to members of the
convention and for stationary, advertis-
ing, etc. You will observe, by the section
OF the act above referred to, the sum of $780,
900, or SO much thereof as may be neces-
sary appropriated odefray the expenses
OF the convention in your territory. Said
SIC, 900, in the language OF the act is 'for
the payment Of the members thereof, under
the same rules and regulations, and at the
same rates as are now provided by law for
the payment oil the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS"
In the third section OF the act it is pro-
v1QeQ tnat Jho DumDe OF delegates TO each
of the said conventions will be seventy.6 five.
find, upon an examination, that the
number Of delegates to the convention
largely exceeds the number of the members
of the legislature, nearly twice as many.
The ordinary appropriations for the ex.
penses of q session OF the legislature is
about $780, DOC. In my opinion, Congress
did not fully consider the amount which
would be necessary for the expenses OF the
convention, but, be that as it may, you
are not authorized to expend for the said
expenses more than the amount appro.
priated; and I suggest that the incidental
expenses be first provided for, the mileage |
Of Members then paid, and the remainder
be applied to the payment of members.
{ The amount OF the per diem, of course, |
would depend on the length OF the session.
II that be short, the rate per day might |
be as much as members OF the legislature
receive, while in no case should it exceed |
that amount. |
I suggest that, if under this ruling the |
members OF the convention should not re-
ceive all to which they think they are pro-
entitled, they must look to |
the territorial fund for whatever addi- |
tional compensation they may expect.
