LEGISLATIVE PRINTING
AT the noon recess a conference had
| been held between the State Board of
| Examiners, and the Committees on
Printing of the two houses of the
Legislature, and an agreement made
meeting the wishes of all concerned,
to the effect that the Governor would
approve of a bill appropriating $4,000
to pay the current printing expenses
Of the thirty second session of the
Legislature, and that he would con-
slider the advisability of approving one
for $50 900 for the support of the State
Printing Office for the remainder of
the forty-eighth fiscal year.
NO TINE LOST.
The Senate decided to lose no time
at taking the Governor at his word,
and the two printing bills already in
troduced were dug up, and, on motion
of Simpson, were placed on their final
passage under a suspension of the
rules
The $50, 900 bill went through with
out a bubble, but the one for $4,000
from which the pressmen and other
employees of the State Printing Office
were to receive payment was not in
condition. 1t provided for an appro-
priation for contingency but the
| word contingency was not mentioned
in the measure agreed upon in the
conference, it being ito pay the cur
rent printing expenses for the thirty
second session of the Legislature"
NO SUBSTITUTE.
| A suggestion that the conference bill
be substituted for the original and
passed met with general disfavor, and the
only road left open was to offer it as an
amendment. Such an action would
create a delay in order that the amend
ed bill might be printed, but it was
nevertheless adopted. The amendment
was adopted, and the bill sent to the
printer, accompanied by a rush" or
der.
