swludle, ETC.. and then the House
passed the bill.

ported the library Appropriation bill,
which, as originally passed by the

ton the Senate increased TO $4,000.
The committees proposed an amend
ment TO the Senate amendment, fixing
the amount at 5000. THIS was agreed
TO 10y the House, but a minority of the
