Section z. 1t shall be lawful for
the Minister of Finance to continue
to make payments in accordance
with the appropriations authorized
by Section 3 of this Act until the
3lst day of July, A. ID. 1892, un-
less new appropriations are made
before that date. Provided that no
payments shall be made on account
of any such item beyond the sum by
this Act appropriated.
Noble Widemann moved to strike
the section out. 1t was long the
practice of the country to have all
accounts closed, as near as possible,
on the 31st of March. Salaries
might continue to be paid because
they were strictly limited by law.
He doubted if there was any Minis
ter there who knew how much money
had been spent under that section.
Rep. Brown spoke of the incon-
venience that might accrue TO con-
tractors, and delay to important
public works, if the section was
!, struck out. The section was neces.
sary for the pr. lection of the pub
lie.
, Noble j. M. Horner wanted tt
hear business reasons for striking
out the section. Six months of the
period were already gone. TO strike
out the section would cut off anothel
six months before the next Appro
priation Bill was passed.
= Minister Brown said a could dea
y could be said on both sides. Perhaps
the limit could be changed to JUNE
30th. Without the section con
tractor who might have been delayed
by Indictment weather would have Il
, stop work on March 3lst. Thu
= Ministry ought to have some lati
: tude. He moved that the date b'
changed to June Both.
: Noble Widemann considered tina
e Minister'S remedy Tor such con
: tingencies as were mentioned would
q be found in an indemnity bill.
: The amendment carried and tn,
!, section passed as amended.
0 Secs. 8 and 8 passed.
Sec. 10. All and every contrac
It for constructing or repairing Public
S Works amounting to $500, and 70
!. furnishing material, provisions ant
other supplies shall be awarded onl,
upon public advertisement for tend
n ers
e Noble Widemann moved to add
e clause setting forth that all the Min
listers shall be forbidden to split VI
4 a contract of $4,000 into four or fiv
of less than $500 each so as to avoi'
3 advertising for tenders. They ha,
q an instance of that this morning
) and unless this amendment carries
It the section would be perfectly futile
y Rep. Hookano moved the linn
e be $3.50, as he thought $500 to
C high.
n Rep. Paehaole moved the sectio
G pass as in the bill.
Noble Widemann said that II TIN
e newspaper reporters had taken dow
G his amendment his purpose woul
be served, therefore he begged leay
