SHALL THEY JUNKET?
Mr.. Mccall requested and was granted
permission to introduce the following
resolution out of order:
Resolred, That majority of the Commit
tees on State Charitable and Reform Institu-
tions and Public Buildings and Grounds be
granted leave of absence to inspect the State
buildings at Los Angeles, Berkeley, San Jose
and Chico.
Mr.. Matlock moved that the Commit
tee on State Prisons be added, Carried.
Several members spoke supporting the
resolution and testifying their belief that
intelligent action upon numerous bills
involving large appropriations would be
impossible without personal inspection
OF the buildings for which money was
asked.
Pending the discussion recess was
taken till o'clock p. NJ.
Afternoon Session.
In the afternoon the Assembly con-
vened at 2 O'Clock with Speaker Coombs
in the chair.
DR.. Martin of Placer moved that S. J..
RS. and 9 be passed and made a special
order for Saturday morning. Carried.
Several members requested leave of
absence till Monday, and notwithstand-
ing objections from Mr.. Shanahan, were
granted them. Mr.. Bruner moved that
the Assembly take q recess until Mon
day afternoon, but the motion required a
tWo-thlrdS vote, and was lost.
The matter OF q visiting committee to
inspect various State buildings, was
again brought up, and after many men,
bers had INDUCED in more or less brilliant
personal and political remarks and mo-
tons upon the subject of ''junketing. -
the following resolution, by Mr.. Bruner,
was finally presented and received in
good faith:
Re&olced, That three members each of the
mi too tDartAl az
and State Charitable and Reformatory Insti-
tutions, are hereby authorized to visit such
public buildings as require appropriations of
money, for the purpose of erecting or repair
ing such public buildings.
Adopted.
Mir. Rentro moved an amendment that
the Committee on Education should be
included, but after discussion, the mo-
ton was lost.
A message from the Senate was read
announcing that A. B. 2ll had been
amended and passed by that body, and
requesting that the House concur in the
amendment. The bill is one providing
for the better policing OF cities, and as
the Senate amendment would exclude
Sacramento from the benefits of such a
change, Mr.. Bruner made stirring APP
peal to the House to withhold its concur
renee to the amendment. He said that
Sacramento, with $4,000 inhabitants, had
my t"OiNO PolioShIeii, lHet Wien all cN-
ira force had been employed there had
been no provision for their pay. He
therefore urgently desired that Sacra-
mento might share in the provisions of
the bill. In response to Mr.. Burners
appeal, the House decidedly declined to
concur in the Senate amendment, and the
Clerk was ordered to announce the de-
cision to the Senate.
INTRODUCTION OF BILLS.
Numerous bills were introduced.
Among the authors of the same were
Messrs. Alexander, Mathews, Mccall,
Fowler, Doty, Gordon, Young, Windrow,
Murphy, Barnett, Burner and Love-
1t was evident that the House was
weary; that the close and Initiated at
mosphere of the Assembly-room had
conspired with several weeks of uninter-
rupted labor on the floor and in commit
tee, to bring the Assembly to nervous
tension which was unfriendly to the
calm consideration of important cues
tions. AT this juneture Mr.. Dibble
moved that, as there was a long file of
first readings" that should be the next
order of business, with a dim hope of adj
journment to follow. Absentees were
many, the motion was eagerly adopted,
and the clerk proceeded to the first read
ing of bills. During this "a. BIS
40, $50, $50 and 243 We're withdrawn by
their authors, by permission of the
House.
A motion to adjourn was lost, and sup
plemented by a motion to adjourn till
Monday at O'clock P. NJ, which was
carried, amid signs of relief from the
homesick, murmurs of delight from the
lazy, and visions of rest for the weary.
