The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-04-05

If every day of the senate had been
as busy as yesterday and the same re-
suits accomplished, the legislature
could have finished in three weeks all
it had to do. Because really the senate
did a lot of work in the two session
held. There was no jangling to speak
of and everything worked very smooth
ly.
The nearest approach to clash was
when the resolution appropriating So
600 for q. semi-centennial to be held in
this city next year came up. Then it
was that the senator from the hamlet
of Ogden arose and in his righteous
Indignation accused senators of bad
faith in voting away the funds Of the
state. His remarks might have been
construed seriously, had it not been for
the speech of his colleague, Mr.. Nc
Kay, who declared they must not be
taken as serious. This, of course, took
all the wind cut of Allison's sails and
when the matter came to a vote, he
was the only man in the negative.
The legislature provided for itself
yesterday by voting $4,000 with which
to pay itself and its officers. This will
be the hast appropriation Of the kind
this term.
Several bills met with defeat yester-
day. The measure providing for the
appointment Of a state engineer, the
bill providing for a state examiner, the
bill abolishing the office of mining re-
corder, the bill amending the law in
relation to locating mining claims, the
act amending the townsfte law, the 3>p-
preparation for the trans Mississippi
congress, the liquor license bill and the
act permitting an Indictment or in
formation to be amended were among
the number.
There were a great many measures
passed too. The elections bill, over
which there has been a clash between
the senate and house has at last been
settled. The conference committee has
agreed upon a compromise. 1t was
on the date of city elections the COM
mittee stuck. The house wanted them
held in November and the senate in
May. The result was they viii be held
on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in February and the various
officers terms will expire on the last
day of that month.
The governors veto on the university
bill was sustained by vote of 10 to 6.
The bill is now dead letter and will
trouble the senate or the house no
lTnore.
The bill creating the office of state
mining inspector passed the senate
yestcTday although it was opposed in
several ways
The proposed normal school in the
southern portion OF the state was de-
feated, although Snow and Chichester
made a good fight and were assisted

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
After the opening prayer by Senator
Glen Miller the senate was asked bv
the chair what its pleasure was in re-
lation to the revenue bin which will
require day to engross. It had been
suggested that the measure be referred
TO q special committee.
Mr.. Booth said the house had made
some changes in the measure which
were improper and perhaps a confer
ence committee might be a good thing
for the education of the house. 1t was !
decided that the bill take its regular
course.
Glen Miller called attention to the
appropriation bill which he said
merited consideration at the hands of
the committee ere the last hours of the
session. No action was taken.
