Ramsey of the ways and means COM
mittee reported back to the house with
out recommendation the communica-
| tion from the governor relative to the
Transmississippi exposition. IL was
| further stated that IL was the opinion
of the committee that while a partici-
patton in the exhibition would he of
particular advantage To the state, yet
an appropriation Of money at this
| time would be unwise. Shiffelbin OF
Silver Bow thought that some arrange
ment could be made so that the state
would be represented, hut after some
little discussion the report was adopt
ed without a dissenting vote.
Regarding the claim for ss.345. made
by the trustees Of the state reform
school for labor and supplies and ma
terials furnished in excess Of the ap'
preparation Chairman Ramsey made
the following report:
Your committee on ways and means,
having had under consideration the
communication from the governor re-
lating to labor and materials furnish
ed for the improvement NJ the state
reform school, heg leave To report the
same back to the house with the rec
ommendation that the claim he not al
lowed.
Your committee has a full apprecla-
tion of the hardships attendant upon
this decision. but IL finds that the ex-
penditures were made 10y the trustees
of the school without the authority oI
law. and that "a provision OF the con-
stitution clearly covers the question in
volved and absolutely prohibits the leg
islature from making an appropriation
for the purpose prayer for.
Aside from the constitutional pro-
hibition the committee feels that tho
allowance of bills incurred by the local
managers of our various institutions
without authority of law. In the hope
that the Legislature may approve theiI
acts. is a practice to be condemned
and that the allowance Of this claim
would create a precedent that would
result to the disadvantage Of the insti-
tutions and the state"
In expianation of the report nv
Ramsey said that the expenditures
were made without sanction of law,
which. in the case, was very plain.
! Upon a motion by Langhorne OF
Lewis and Clarke the house went into
| committee of the whole for the consid-
Grafton of the matter. Tile speaker
called stanton of Cascade to the chair.
Mclntire Of Custer said that, knowing
the personnel of the board. he was
confident that the house would do
them a great injustice should they
adopt the report without first granting
them a hearing. DR.. Middleton OF the
local board was called upon tn address
the committee. He said that he was
not prepared at that time 10 address
the committee and requested that the
matter he postponed in order 10 give
the trustees of the local board fair
hearing. The committee reported back
to the house a recommendation that
the report Of the ways and means COM
mittee he referred back to that COM
mittee for further consideration. The
report was adopted.
