the safe was examined. The treasurer
showed the committee where the &C.
counts were kept-in little hole in the
wall. When the capitol was built, time
locks and others now used we're not
known. If counties use them for the
security of their valuables, surely the
state ought to do so. Our treasury
could be entered in an hour by an expert
cracksman. The treasurer did not feel
justified with his bond in keeping the
securities where they are. An enlarge
ment of the present space is needed.

Mr.. Allen said under the rule adopted
by the house some time since, it could
not consider appropriation bills until
the reports had come in on charitabla'
and other institutions, and the estimates
for these charges for the next two years
were before the house.
Mr.. Long, of Alamance, hoped that
that rule would be suspended in this
case.
Mr.. Allen said he had no disposition
to make improper opposition. But WE
ought not to tread down rules. We
must know what is required for the nee
essary appropriations.
Mr.. Adams said that all institutions
asking for appropriate MS ought to with
hold them until the reports come in.
