Stanford and Dougall submitted the
following minority report:
/ MI. Speaker-Your committee on
ways and means having had under
consideration H. B. 100, we the under
signed beg leave to submit the follow
ing minority report:
That to provide for the payment of
these old outstanding certificates of
jurors and witnesses fees, many of
winch date back as far as the year
1870, and all of them between chat
date and 1888; and which have been
passed upon and in one instance at
least repudiated by adverse territorial
legislation; and further to our know
ledge and belief a great portion of
these certificates are held by brokers
who have bought them for mere nomi-
mai amount, we believe it would be
unjust to the taxpayers of the terri
tory TO pay the same at the present
time, considering the depleted condi-
ton of its finances, and the large eX-
penditure of money necessary to be eX-
pended for the maintenance of our
public institutions, being in excess of
our revenues, so that it is prob1ble
that our taxation viii have to be in
/ creased.
While we recognize the fact that all
Just debts should be paid we are op-
posed 10 this appropriation of $4,000
for the redemption of such certificates
conditions report adversely to the pas
sage of this bill. SANFORD.
