q record for itself. Another Of it's re-
ports was read at the opening of the ses
don, and such degree of economy was
exhibited that many of the statesmen
were staggered. A clerk was allowed
20 the railroad committee, but they
shouldered upon him load of duties by
making him clerk Of the municipal leg
islation, grain and warehouse and agri'
cultural committees. The application
Of Owen Mulgrew for position as as
sistant committeeman keeper was re-
fused, and David Geist as assistant
page, was also denied the privilege OF
being in the public service, and the
Dame fate was awarded NJ. A. Davidson,
who wanted to be assistant enrolling
clerk. In the early part Of the session
George B. Moore worked eight days as
Gle clerk and last week resolution was
presented to the house asking $40 for his
labor, but this was also vetoed by the
legislative expense committee. The
committee reported back the resolution
for flag raiser at IS per day without
recommendation, and q motion to name
IN old soldier for the position was lost.
