Representative Dwyer got bill through
the house raising it to per cent. The
senate compromised on AZ per cent and

vote. Senator MCGOWAN made an elabo-

senate and was less than half completed

only notable change made was relative
to the amount for publishing the laws in
the newspapers. The appropriation has

had cut it to 100000. The senate. with but
one dissenting vote, reinstated it at the
old figure.
