Adopted.
THE WATERMAN PRISON INVESTIGATION.
By Mr.. Shananan:
WHEREAS, The Assembly has passed a reso-
luton calling on the Governor to make an
itemized statement of the expenditures made
by Governor Waterman out of the appropria-
ton OF $4,000 appropriated by the last
expenses of the Investigation of the State
Prisons; and, whereas, the present Governor
by his statement just made to this House.
says that he has no record or statement con-
corning the expenditures of the same; there
fore,
Resotred, That the Committee on Commits
sions be and they are hereby directed to in
vestigate into the matter of the expenditure
OF said appropriation and report to this House
thereon.
Mr.. Shanahan-I move the adoption Of
the resolution.
The Speaker-It requires a two-thirds
vote.
Mr.. Shanahan-I hardly understand
the necessity of that.
The Speaker-The rules lay down the
duties of the Committee on Commissions,
and this is devolving anew duty on them,
not contemplated by the rules.
Mr.. Shanahan-All I can say is that I
hope there will not be a dissenting vote
in relation to the matter. There is some
S6, 100 unaccounted for by any statement
in either; the Office of the Governor or
that of the Controller, outside of the fact
that the Controller is able to certify that
Governor Waterman drew the money.
Now it is certainly due the people that
some statement or showing should be
| made with reference to the expenditure of
that sum. 1t is good round sum, and
| there certainly should be no objection to
Governor Waterman, or other persons
connected with that investigation, max
ing fall showing as to what became of
the money.
The resolution was adopted mani
mously.
