The record-union., 1899-02-11

In consequence of this report Brown
said that, having no desire to do any
injustice, he would withdraw his reso-
luton, if permitted. So ordered.
In addition to the opinion above
stated the Belshaw report recommended
that the contempt proceedings be in
definitely postponed or until Green's
physician should pronounce him well
enough to appear.
With regard to this, Dibble said that
while there was no reason to doubt
that Green was too i'll to appear, still
to leave the contempt proceedings de-
pendent upon the decision of the physi-
clan would be to take the whole mat
ter out of the jurisdiction of the House.
The proper way, he believed, would be
to postpone further consideration of the
report and of the contempt proceedings
to fixed date. He, therefore, moved
that the whole matter be postponed
until next Friday and made a special
order for that day. Carried and SO or
derei.
ON THE FILES.
The business on the files herewith re-
ported all together was carried on at
intervals all day yesterday, and
amounted to a good days work of it
self.
SENATE SPECIAL.
On this file Dickinson's s. B. 127, re-
pealing the Act authorizing the allow
ance, payment and settlement of claims
of counties against the State, came up
on third reading.
johnson favored the repeal of tnei Act
in view of the recent movement to en-
force such collections by counties, a
movement which would result in vast
loss to the State and in which the
counties would merely be giving large
percentage of their claims to the law
yers who had inspired the movement.
Caminetti cautioned the House not to
be too precipitate in doing away with
a law which, in his opinion, was really
safeguard against the very thing
Johnson spoke of.
Johnson explained that there were
two laws and he thought Caminetti had
confounded them. This ore had only
escaped repeal two years before by an
error in the report of the vote. Still he
was quite willing to pass the bill for
a day or so until closer attention could
be given it. This was done.
The following were read second time:

the alteration of the boundaries of in
corporated towns and cities by the an

ing government and municipal control
of annexed territory.
S. B. II, by Dickinson, to prevent the
maintenance against the State or any
