A TERSE RESOLUTION.

REPRESENTATIVE McLcmore yesterday in
troduced resolution in the house which
was adopted. This resolution. to say the
least, is going to raise a slight rucus and
the question naturally arises where is
the investigation going to stop. The reso-
luton reads as follows:
Whereas, 1t apcras that the con-
tractors for printing the decisions of the
supreme court have violated their con-
tract; and
Whereas, 1t appears that the viola
ton Of this contract loses to the state
not less than $1,000 per year, in that the
law requires that these reports shall be
printed in u certain face of long primer
and minion type and that the leads used
shall not be of Il greater thickness that s.
to-pica, and
Whereas, As matter of fact the
long primer type used has been much
'phatter' than the face prescribed by
law, and ''phat" BREWER has been used
instead of the legal minion, and G-to-pica
leads have been used instead of S-to-pica;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the speaker appoint
committee of three whose duty it shall
be to thoroughly investigate the matter
and report to the house at the earliest
time practicable the result of such in
yestigatiOn.
