its second reading.
Mr.. Allen wanted to amend by making
the appropriation for the clerk of the
Third district court for the years 1S90-91

plenty.

OF the clerk now was close on to $40, 900 a
10 hos oil he Tor rio1 oiy h,,ci
ness, "and God knows he charges enough
for that" The territorial criminal bust
ness does not occupy a tenth of his time.
Mr.. Hammond also objected. The office
was now and always had been a fat one,
and there was no good reason that it
shonld be made still more succulent.
Mir. Williams also championed the cause
of the clerk.
Mr.. Greer again urged that his amend
ment be carried. He thought it was a
mere matter of justice.
The amendment was lost.

ing p. l.. Williams $3.50 for presenting
the report of the territorial commissioner
of schools for 1888. This amount had been
refused by previous legislature.
Mr.. Hammond objected. Mr.. Williams
had had the printing done, at his own ex-
pense, and must have known what he was
doing.
Mr. Reid was in favor of the appropria-
ton asked for by Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Greer objected. The claim of Mr..
Williams had been properly and Justly re-
jected.
Mr.. Allen urged his claim. 1t is true
there was paragraph or two that was dis
tasteful to some of the members, but it was
a difference of belief, merely, and it would
be small business to refuse to pay it.
The motion was carried, thirteen mem
bers voting in the affirmative.
