ATTACHE BILL AGAIN.
Then Cutter introduced bill out of
order. It's file number was S. B. 345,
but when the light was let upon it, it
proved to be the same old repeal of the
Belshaw Act which on Monday had
been amended and ordered to the
printer Cutter explained that a doubt
had arisen respecting the right of the
Senate to amend bill after it had been
passed, and in order to obviate any diff
ficulties which might arise, it had been
agreed to introduce new bill. The
new BILL" however, was identical with
the amendment which had been adopted
at Mondays session. He moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass the bill. The
motion carried, q to 4, and the bill
was read the second time.
Sims moved to amend by striking out
the words three -fifths'' and inserting
the words "three-fourths, in the sec
ton providing for the vote necessary to
provide for additional officers or en-
ployes.
The motion to amend called for a long
debate, in the course of which the old
straw was 'thresfled over and over
again.
Shortridge, Cutter, Simpson and Gill
lette opposed the resolution, and Cur
tin, Braunhart and Sims favored it.
Simpson said that while he had voted
for the Belshaw bill two years ago he
had done so under a Misrepresentation
of the condition of things.
Sims said that the provision three
fifths,'' made the bill party mat
ter. He said that if the additional
employees were necessary the Democrats
would support the measure.
Stratton moved the previous question,
but the motion was opposed by Dickin-
son and was lost.
THE BILL PASSED.
Then Sims, Cutter and Simpson
branched off to the administration of
Governor Budd and discussed the num-
Der of appropriations vetoed by him.
After that matter had been satisfac-
torily settled, Sims amendment was
lost by viva voce vote.
Sims offered an identical amendment
to Section 2 of the bill, which was also
lost, and there being no further amend
ments the bill was read the third time
and passed by a vote of -26 to II.
