cordingly moved and carried that the
reading of the committee amendments
should be postponed until the bill had
been printed with the amendments. the
measure to keep its place on the file.
NOW TO THE GOVERNOR.
Doty's S. B. 81, to govern the rock
crushing Plant at Folsom, has at last
gone to enrolment and the Governor.
The fight was a long one and the op-
position died hard, firing it's last gun
the last moment before the roll was
called on the second passage of the bill
before the House.
1t will be remembered that the bill,
which had been passed in the Senate,
came to the House and was passed
there also, although subjected to a
rafting cross fire of amendments that
sought to defeat the purpose of the
Dill by raising the price fixed for the
price of the crushed rock. The repre-
sentatiVeS of private enterprises were
not satisfied yet, and Anderson of So
lano succeeded in carrying his motion
| TO reconsider. AT the moment when
the previous question had been de-
manded Anderson again offered an
amendment raising the price of the
product to thirty-five cents per ton,
| which he claimed he had offered on
Tuesday evening, but which was not
recorded in the journal. Such an
amendment had succeeded once and
had been reconsidered a fortnight ago,
but ON this occasion Cutter, the cham
pion of the bill in the lower house, had
his forces well in hand and the amend
ment fell through. The bill was passed
by a better majority than on the for
mer occasion. Following is the vote:
Ayes-Arnerich, Austin, Belshaw,
Bettman, Bridgford, Burnett, Burnham.
Caminetti, Cartwright, Chynoweth,
Clark, Cutter, Dennery, Dryden, Elliott,
Ennis, Fontana, Foreman, Golf, Guy,

Kenyon, Lacy Landsborough, Leavitt,
Lindenberger, Melick, Moultrie, McClel-
Ian, North of Alameda, North of Yolo,
Pohlman, Power of Placer Price, Rob-
inson, Rubell, Sanford, Sims, Seward,
Stanzell, Strain, Toland, Valentine,
Vosburg, Wright-49.
Noes - Aldrige, Allen, Anderson,
Boone, Breiling, Canavan, Dibble, Do
Ian, Emmons, Godfrey, Goodhue, Har-
ris, Henry, Jones, Mahoney, McCand-
lish, McGrath, Power of San Francisco
Ryan, Shanahan, Treacy, Coombs-22
Cutter exhibited particularly good
generalship in the management of the
bill from start to finish He had an
active foe but slept only on his arms
| While the fight was on. Yesterday
morning there were no fewer than five
roll calls on the last skirmish.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT
| S. B. 136, the County and Township
| Government" bill, was on second read
| ing as special order. Burnham of
| fered a batch of committee amend
ments and, rs in the case of the fee
| bill, the bill and amendments were
sent to the printer in order that they
might be more conveniently considered.
Both bills retain their places on the
| special order file.
| PETITIONS.
| Seward and Shanahan offered nu-
merous petitions from constituents on
the suffrage amendment and the cor
ner grocery bill. They were sent to the
proper committees.
| ADJOURNMENT HAZY
A. c. r. 8, calling for an adjournment
since die at midnight on the 18th in
stant was not a popular measure on
the floor and there was an evident de-
sire to lose it somewhere Dibble
moved that 1t be made a special order
| for Friday, March 18th, at noon
| thirty-six hours before the time set in
the resolution The Speaker pointed
out that it would require a two-thuds
vote to get it back if such action was
! taken.
! Belshaw offered as a substitute mo-
| ton that the resolution be referred to
| the Committee on Rules and Regula-
| tions. This brilliant flank movement
delighted Dibble, who accepted it with
| thanks, and it was carried unanimous
| ly.
Two dates are popularity mentioned as
favored for adjournment one just be
! fore the 18th, the other Saturday, the
Goth.
