section IL the report as AMENDED
was the next bone OF contenflon.
Mr.. Derham moved to amend oy n
sertins :swsv" instead OF ''shall'' so as
to leave it optional with the governor
to refer applications for pardon to the
board of pardons which, under Mr..
Derharl's amendment Is TO De com
posed by act Of the general assembly,
This amendment was adopted despite
the opposition OF Messrs. Efrd and Al
drich who coutcrded that as the gov
crnor had absolute power to reprie7e
it was not necessary to give him dis
cret;on in the matter of referring peti-
t;ors for pardon to the board. The sec,
ion eesernended was a6opted.
The section regarding the State of
GERS was amended, on motion Of Mr..
Winkler. so as to provide that their
salaries NAV not be increased or de
creased during their term OF Office.
