EVENING SESSION.
1t was $50 in the evening before .suf-
ficient of the members had kind O.
sauntered back from dinner to take up
the important business that was on for
o'clock. to enable the house to proceed
with a quorum, although it was an under
stood fact that a quorum has not been
broken since midnight Sunday.
At that time Mr.. Bolitho assumed the
chair in Mr.. Nye's absence and the
senate notice to the house that it had
amended the appropriation bill was read.
The bill was read and each amendment
concurred in or rejected as it was
reached. All the changes of any i'm
portance which the senate had made and
which the house declined to concur in
were the items of mileage for district
court judges. $1,000 for Weber county for
maps and plats for the assessors office,
$3.50 for Cache county for the same pur-
pose and a list of items of expense for
Sheriff Belnap of Weber. and his depu-
ties during the commonweal invasion.
On all of these there was much dis
cussion and some lively colloquys were
engaged in but it was in the senate's
amendment to the item of an appropria-
ton to pay for the printing of the ses-
sion which was finally concurred in. that
the chief interest conferred
The senate had stricken out a provision
which Mr.. Critchlow had secured as an
amendment to the bill when it passed
Sunday. providing that these p print-
ing bills should be audited bv
the examining board before being
PAID. He thought inasmuch as
the measuring upon which they were
MADE out had been done by an emp-ova
OF the News. which did large portion
OF the printing, it was but a common
sense business proposition for the state
that the measure be made again under
supervision of the board.
Messrs. Ferguson of Carbon. Cushing
Beard and others favored concurrine as
they believed the provision was ref1ec-
ton upon the gentleman who had done
the measuring whom they knew to be
eminently trustworthy
Mr.. Critchlow replied that he had in
tended no reflection and did not see
how insisting on business principles being
followed could be considered as such. He
knew 1t to be a fact that the man who had
done the measuring was a News en-
ploye, from which fact it was only fair
anything by the measuring. In any
event it was proper that the examiners
should audit the bills and supervise the
measuring. Notwithstanding Mr. Critch-
lows protest the amendment was con-
CURED in
Another conference committee was APP
pointed, and as the senators had dis
persed for the night and nothing further
could be done. the commons emulated
the example of the lords and wended their
way homeward. leaving Mr.. Critchlow
and the engrossing committee to watch
through the silent vigils of the night
and constitute a quorum.
