GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
To the Assembly: In my message to
your honorable body of this date. Feb
ruary %, 1899, disappearing A. B. s 2SI
and 2SS, misconstruction of the bills
appears in the message, owing to the
ambiguity of the language of the bills,
Which error, in justice to the Clerk of
the Supreme Court, l desire to correct.
The message referred to states that
by the said A. BIS 2S7 and 2SS an adj
ditional stenographer is created, there
by increasing the salary to be paid to
the deputies in the aggregate annual
sum of S2,400. This, however, is in
correct, as there is but one office Gre
ated, namely, that of Chief Deputy,
with an annual salary of 81, 400 and
one of the other six deputies (desig
mated therein as a stenographer) is TO
ceive salary reduced to 81 200; 50
that the aggregate annual increase is
$500.
Notwithstanding this correction, by
views as to a necessity for any in
crease in the number of deputies in
the office remain unchanged, and I am
stif of the opinion that at this time
there is no urgent necessity for this
deputy. HENRY T. GAGE. Governor
