Mr. Powers of Houltan. Mr. Speaker
/ move u to reconsider the yote bv which an
order Was passed referring ali matters ap-
propriating money to the finance committee.
There are very many resolves here appro-
pria,iug small sums for schools. for roads,
tVr briis"-- for a variety of things that
necessarily - before other committees. and
If the parties bave got 10 haze two hearings
oHc before that committee and one before
the finance committee. it seems to me to be
putting them TO great heal of trouble: and
II seems 10 me that resolve in ail of some
bri ige or seme road should 90 before the
committee on WAYS and bridges. AMI re-
solve i'll favor of soiie school shonli pro- !
perry 90 before its committee and that
that eo'an,ittee might well report To the /
House without having IT referred 10 the I
finance committee. | move TO reconsider Z
this vote with view Of leaving it open
