The record-union., 1897-02-09


salary of $50 a month was aimed only
TO cover the actual expenses of the Of
| ficer, and not as payment for services
rendered.
| Simpson protested against creating
another salaried office and foisting fur
ther expenses upon the people. He
contended that 5000 year would not
secure talent which would do justice
TO the sanitary matters of a county.
| The amendment was lost by a viva
voce vote, and the salary attached to
THE Office remains
/. Gillette then offered an amendment
providing that the compensa ton
of THE Health Officer should be fixed
| by Boards of Supervisors of counties
interested. The amendment was lost.
| WHERE ARE THE BILLS?
| Morehouse called attention to the
fact THAT while the State Printer had
| furnished 800 copies of A. B. 61S, pro-
viding for the removal of the girls from
the Whittier Reform School to the San
TIA Clara County property, only sixty
copies had been received by the Ser
|
copies were either lost, stolen or
strayed. Nobody seemed to know any
thing about the business, and Voor-
iheis stated for the benefit of Morehouse
that such a state of affairs existed
with regard to many other bills. More
house said he should consider himself
a committee of one to investigate the
matter, and received the thanks of the
Lieutenant Governor for his deitermin-
alton. Wilmington explained that he
| recently undertook a similar investi-
cation, and had received personal no
tices from all sections of the State,
most of which nominated him an ogre.
He hoped Morebouse would persist in
his investigation.
SALOON LICENSES.
Dickinson offered resolution amend
ing that portion of Section % of the
county government BILL providing that
Boards of Supervisors of counties shall
have no power to tax any business car
ried on within corporate cities or towns
in any county.
Smith said that the only question
was the matter of licensing saloons by
| counties. The matter of imposing a
license upon saloons could make little
difference in the long run, as it would,
if collected by cities, lower the reve-
nues of the county, and vice versa.
Morehouse favored the adoption OF
the amendment, and further discussion
was deferred until after the noon re-
cess
AIT 1925 O'Clock VOORHEES, moved that
the further consideration of the bill
+l,.1 i.,1 r.-la ic
morning Smith explained that as
1T was of the greatest Importance ii
should be allowed the right of way, and
that arrangements had been completed
WHEREBY the special order of Assembly
bills might be disposed with in short
order, and the consideration of the
measure continued al the afternoon
session. Thereupon VOORHEES, withdrew
his motion.
