Page I2, Line 45-Pay of Jailors
Guards and Lunas of Prisoners
$4,000.
Your committee find that s45,O0t
was appropriated IN 1894, and later {
further sum of $4,000 was appropria
ted, bringing the total amount appro
priated up to $500
''Of this amount we find that there
would have been expended for the
full twenty-four months, had the ex-
penses averaged the same as for the
previous twenty-one months, ,about
s52, 900.
While it is not anticipated that un-
| der ordinary circumstances a larger
sum than So, 900 will be needed for the
coming period, your committee are of
the opinion there should be a margin
Of $500, and would therefore recon-
mend the item pass as in the bill.
Page I3-Interior Department.
"All of the items under this head
were referred.
Upon investigation your committee
find that all salaries under this head
have remained the same as for last
period.
Line 3-Salary of First Clerk, 81, 600.
This clerk was formerly called Gov
ernment Land Clerk, at the same sal
airy as is now paid to the First Clerk -
In short, all salaries in this depart
ment remain as before, but there has
been a rearranging of titles.
I'VE recommend all items pass as
in the bill"

follows:
First-Opening of a road separate

seem to be within the province of the |
