STILL WANTS AN EXPERT.
Governor Budd and the State Printing
Department.
He Objects to Purchase Of Coal
Made by Mr.. Johnston in
June Last.

state Printer Johnston was again be-
fore the State Board of Examiners yes
terday, in answer to an invitation from
the Governor to explain a purchase OF
coal made on June 18th of the present
year.
1t appears that during the last fiscal
year bids for fuel to be used in the
State Printing Office were not adver-
tised for, and the State Printer bought
the coal necessary at a cost of $40 a
| ton.
On June 18th Of the present year bids
were opened for supplying the depart
ment with fuel (Bymbo coaD for the
fiscal year commencing July 1st. Two
bids were received, one from John Skel-
ton, offering to furnish the coal at the
rate of $40 a ton, the other from Mich
ael Hanrahan, whose bid was 50 O4 a
ton. Hanrahan was awarded the con-
tract, and the next day, June 18th, but
before the contract was signed, the
State Printer purchased seventy-five
tons of coal from Shelton at the old
rate of SO ton
The bill was presented and approved
by the Board of Examiners, and was
only recalled yesterday by the Gov
| ernor as another of his reasons why
some competent man should be en-
! ployed to expert the books of the State
| Printer
When called upon to explain why sew
enty-five tons of coal had been pur-
chased at the rate of SO a ton,
when less than that quantity would
| have carried the business along until
the beginning of the present fiscal year,
at which time Hanrahan's 50 OF con-
tract would go into effect, Mr. Johnston
said that John Shelton had been fur
nIsh1ng a kind of coal that gave great
satisfaction, and that he had seventy
tive tons of this on the way for the use
or the State Printing Office before any
thing was said about advertising for
bids. AT the time this arrived the office
was out of coal, and so Mr. Shelton was
told to deliver it. 1t would not last
more than a month or so; it was a fine
quality of coal and had been purchased
| by Mr.. Shelton for the use of the print
ing office
Governor Budd then called the atten-
ton Of the Attorney-General to his
proposition of the day before, that some
person should be employed to expert
the books of the Department of State
Printing, giving as a reason that like
methods may have been employed in
making purchases other than coal.
Action in the matter had already been
deferred until next week

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL DISAGREEMENT
The conferees on the river and harbor
bill have decided to report disagree
ment on the Santa Monica and San Pedro
deep water harbor amendment. The
contention of the house is that, in case
the commission provided for in the SEN
ate amendment should report in favor of
San Pedro, it would give that place two
large contracts. 1t is claimed by the
house conferees that the commission
should report to congress that all the
other items have been agreed to.

Mr.. German said that he had submitted
the amendment to the committee on ap-
preparations and it had been rejected.
He thought the amendment was subject
to point of order.
Mr.. Mills, of Texas, made point of
order. He said that congress should not
adjourn without making some provision
for the treasury.
Mr.. Sherman said that this important
matter should not be considered without
a quorum and a roll call was ordered.
