BILLS SIGNED.
When the senate met in the forenoon
it was notified by the governor that he
had signed senate joint resolution No.
s. providing Tor a semi-centennial at
Salt Lake city in 1897, and senate bill
81, providing taxes on gross premiums
Of insurance.
SALARY BILL.
The house notified the senate of the
passage of house bill 1OS. substitute for
the senate salary bill very soon after
business was resumed. This measure,
it will be remembered, as passed by
the house, placed all the salary matters
of each county with the boards of
county commissioners.
Mr.. Sutherland said to place the fix
ing of salaries in the hands of the
boards of county commissioners would
be crying shame. Especially is this
true when applied to this county,
which would lose thereby, $4,000. He
did not desire to cast any reflection
upon the board of county commission
ers, but it was fact that the office
holding contingent was closer to the
board than the people. He favored
non-concurrence in the action of the
house and the killing of the bill, if the
senate had TO stay here a month. He
moved non-concurrence in the action
of the house and the appointment of
conference committee.
Mr.. Chambers favored fixing the
salaries. Tt ought to be done in Salt
Lake, Weber, Utah and Summit at
least.
The chair appointed Messrs. Suther-
land, Chambers and Evans a confer
ence committee on the passage of the
motion.
FILING JOURNALS.
House joint resolution Is, providing
for filing of a copy Of house and SEN
ate journals by the chief clerk of the
house and secretary of the senate, with
the secretary of state instead of print
ing them, was opposed by Mr.. Warner
who said that to oppose the publica-
ton was folly. At this time, when
the press was engaged in criticizing
the work of the legislature, the people
were entitled to a journal. The cost,
$500, was as nothing compared with
the Importance of the publication
This is the first legislature of a new
state and the people are interested in
its work. The matter of economy
comes too late in the day.
Mr.. Booth said he did not see the
necessity for printing; a copy was filed
in the office Of the secretary and if the
state board of examiners wanted to
print it could do so.
A question arising as to whether the
house meant an "engrossed copy the
resolution was tabled for a time.
PRINTING BILLS.
James H. Anderson, auditor of print
ing, reported the bills for printing as
follows: Tribune, $3,9S44O; Star Print
I ing company, $1,57LS1; Deseret News,
s1,4S7.92.
DRAINAGE BILL.
The house asked for the return of
senate bill 10, the drainage district
measure Indefinitely postponed by it
Sunday. The bill was returned and
later came back passed with amend
ments. The bill was passed by the
senate.
APPROPRIATION BILL.
Consideration of the appropriation
list being resumed, the following addi-
tons were made: Garfield county. un-
collected taxes for 1S93-94, S126. 90; San
pete county, same $126.
There was jangle of an hour over
ing to strike out after the insertion.
Mr. Booth then amended by putting
in the claim of Salt Lake county for
81, 1898 for the same purpose.
This precipitated a wrangle, which
resulted in striking out all tax relief
clauses from the bill
The item of w. H. McCarty. assist
ant United States attorney, for ser
vices rendered in territorial cases,
amounting to $3.50, was stricken out.
1t was explained that McCarty had
been employed by the United States
district attorney, and the senate de-
cided to permit the United States to
pay it.
| The claim of Pratt & Pratt for legal
services in the cases of Utah Territory
VS.. A. o. Smoot ct al, amounting to
/ 500, was also rejected. The claims of

district court, and NJ. H. Thomas for
witness fees in the Fourth district
