When the House convened after recess,
Yesterday, the first measure taken up fer
consideration was the steam boiler inspec-
ton bill, G. B. /, aud the House immedi-
ately thereupon resolved itself into O. COM
mittee Of the whole.
Haskell wanted an inspector for every
county. to be appointed upon petition OF
citizens by the county commissioners.
Everybody else was united in the opin-
ion that the inspector should be q terri
torial man, and many speeches were made
to that effect. 1t was claimed that the in
come from licenses and certificates would
be greater than the salary.
Sections /, 2, 8 and 4 were adopted al-
most as they stood and then Davis moved |
that the bill be referred to a special COM
mittee with instructions to report at 2 |
o'clock to-day, hen the consideration of
the bill would be made a special order OF
business. This was carried and Hunt,
Moore and Saxton were appointed.
H. B. 80, the law library bill, was recon-
mended to pass.
H. B. "a, concerning the locating and re-
cording OF mineral claims, was considered
section by section. This bill is for the pre-
vention OF locators holding mining claims
from year to year without doing any de-
velopmeIt work ON them, by simply re-lo-
eating them year after year. Under this
bill, the re-locater must do q certain
amount OF work within sixty days after
such RELOCATION.
Haskell wanted to know if the provisions
in the bill were not in conflict with the
laws OF Congress on the subject, but no.
body seemed to know whether they were or
not. The bill. however, was recommended
to pass.
When the committee arose a committee,
consisting of Joslyn, Rea and Saxton was
appointed as a Joint committee to confer
with committee Of the Council on the
amendments to II. B. 20, cemetery bill,
which the Council refused to concur in.
