DRYDEN'S RESOLUTION.
Chairman Vosburg of the Committee
or Attaches offered the majority re-
port on the resolution of Mr.. Dryden,
offered on Tuesday last and printed t.
full in Wednesday mornings Record
Union" 1t will be remembered that
this resolution called for a committee
of three. one from each political body
in the House, to be appointed by the
Speaker, for the investigation of the
charges concerning the temporary or
ganization of the Assembly.
The report, which follows, was signed
by Assemblymen Vosburg, Hudson,
Damon and land dSbOrOl10h.
Your Committee on Attaches, to whom
was referred the resolution introduced
by Mr.. Dryden, to investigate the
amount of expenditures incurred in the
temporary organization of the Assem-
bly, beg leave to report as follows:
First-We find by reference to Sec
ton 246 of the Political Code that the
following persons constitute the statu-
tory officers of the Assembly in addi-
ton to the Speaker and the Speaker
pro tenn: One Chief Clerk, one Ser
nt-at-Arms, two Assistant Ser
geant- -at-Arms, one Minute Clerk, one
Journal Clerk, one Enrolling Clerk, one
Engrossing Clerk, four porters. four
pages. one Postmaster. one Assistant
Postmaster, and such other officers and
employees as may be deemed necessary
by the Assembly for the transaction of
the business of the Assembly.
Second-We further find that the
above section was approved January
%, 1891. and was intended to restrict
the abuses now complained of, but
which has signally failed in doing So
as is evidenced by the largely increased
list of appointees made during each
session since that time.
Third-We further find that con-
struction of this law can be so stretch
Ell as to confer upon the Chief Clerk,
as he claims it does, the authority to
make appointments in effecting a
temporary organization as it was in
tended should be a sufficient number
to properly conduct business of the
House when fully organized for busi-
ness. then your committee is willing
