YESTERDAY IN THE SENATE.
Heavy Days Work Regardless Of
Slight Attendance.

In the Senate yesterday, Flint, for the
Committee on Contingent Expenses. re-
ported back recommending the adoption
or the resolution appropriating %
for sending kilograms to congressman
Reed and De Vries at Washington.
Adopted.
SENATE CoNCURS.
Assembly messages were taken up,
and the Senate concurred in the As
senbly amendments to S. B. 127. to re-
peal an Act authorizing the allowance,
settlement and payment of claims of
counties against the State.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT BILL.
Bulla moved to take up the county
government bill for further considera-
ton, and thereupon the Senate smiled
Smith said it had been generally I'M
derstood when the bill passed into un-
finished business, that it would not be
brought up again-unexpectedly. He
objected to the taking it up, at least
until there was a full attendance
Bulla was easily convinced, ard said
he supposed it would be just as well
to wait and then the Senate smiled
again. and the county government bill
is still at the foot of the unfinished
business file
While Bulla's motion was being dis
posed Of the Senators, from Santa Clara.
Alameda and San Francisco maintain
ed decorous silence.
Bulla subsequently said to a Record
Union" reporter that he was in earn
est, and that Los Angeles County de-
sired to reduce the salaries of its offi-
GERS. 1t was too late in the session to
introduce individual bills to that end,
and while he understood that strenu-
Gus efforts would be made to keep the
bill buried, he proposed to keep ham,
mering away to have it resurrected I'M
til the end of the session. lie would,
he said. renew his motion to. take up
the bill every morning until the end
OF the session.
