So, 800 for contingent expenses Of the
Senate, and A B. $40, appropriating

pended, the bills read the second and
third time and placed upon their hnal
passage. The resolution was adopted.
Wilmington contended that so,oOU
appropriation would be sufficient to tide
over the session of the Senate.
VOORHEES, explained that the bill was
drawn upon the Controllers estimate,
and that if anything was left it would
revert to the treasury.
Wilmington contended that if resolu-
tions We're to be offered in the last
days of the session to scatter funds, the
Senate ought to know of it, and if such
was not the intention, there was no
need of a 12,500 appropriation when
one of IS, 900 would prove ample. He
offered an amendment striking out
S12, 800 and inserting $4,000. Lost.
Both bills were passed, Wilmington
voting no on the Senate bill.
