0FFIClAL REPORT OE THE PROCEEDINGS OF
 THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION OF ALABAMA

ithe stenographer is hereby directed !!may have been made in reporting the proceedings of the preceding day, under the appropriate head.
 Mir. Howeil-I will state my idea, Mir. President
 The President-The gentleman from
 Cleburne moves that the rules be sus-
 pended and that the resolution be
 placed upon its immediate passage. | Mir. Howeli-My idea is that at the
 close of the proceedings of the day to
 have a little supplement headed with
 the correction of the errors of yester- day. That is my idea of the intention I of the resolution.
 l MT. Wilson (Clarke)-I do not know
 that I have any objection to the reso- lution proposed by the gentleman from Cleburne. In fact, it seems to me. that something of that kind may be necessary, but in order that the resolu- tion may be properly considered in all its bearings, 1t seems to me 1t would
 be better to let 1t be referred for that reason.
 MT. Howell-It is a very plain, sim
 pie proposition. I suppose every mem- Der understands 1t. It Is very simple
 proposition, and if you will allow me. we are anxious to have this correction made that occurred on yesterday, be- cause they would want to hang me to a sour apple tree for proposing to give 1 men fifty cents a mile to the capital and back The President-The question is on the motion of the gentleman from Gle burne that the rules be suspended. Upon vote, the rules were suspend ed, and on further vote the resolu- | tion was adopted. MT. Watts-Mr. President, with the consent of the chairman of the Commit tee on Local Legislation, desire to change the place of meeting of that committee from the Supreme Court Library at 8 o'clock, to the office of
 Watts. Troy & Caffee. at 8 o'clock. | The President--Uniess there be ob- Jection. the change will be made, | MT. Willett-I desire to ask the | unanimous consent of the House in or- der to make a motion that 300 copies of the report showing where the stand ing committees meet be printed, for the | use of the members. It is very incon- | venient to run around to find out where our respective committees meet, but we do not know where the Committee Fen Education, etc, meets and we would | have to go to some member of that committee before the adjournment of | the House to find out, and it seems to me that 1t ought to be printed so each one will have a pamphlet to know ex- actly If we should have any business before the committees.
 The President-The gentleman asks | unanimous consent to have 300 copies | of the report fixing the time of the | meetings Of the standing committees printed; is there objection. MT. ONeal Lauderdale)-Objec MT. Browne-I would like to ask if p- gest, if they have not yet been printed, | that they be incorporated into the | rules. It. could be very well done, and would be in convenient form. The President-The chair is informed that the rules are in the press. MT. Bulger-I object to the proposi- tion stated by the gentleman from | stating where these committees meet,
 be printed, because this stenographic 1 report that comes out tomorrow morn- l ing win. contain the information that
 is desired by the gentleman from Pick
 ems to be put in this pamphlet; and it
 seems to me it would be an unneces-
 sary expense to this convention and I,
 therefore. object.
 The President-Objection being
 made, the motion is not in order at this time. The next order of business l will be the report of the Committee on the Journal.
 The report was read, stating that the I journal for the seventh day had been examined and found to be correct. The | report, on motion. Was adopted, | The President-The next order of
 business will be the reading of the journal of yesterday, if 1t is not dis pensed with.
 MT. Greer (Calhoun)-I move that the | reading of the journal of yesterday be dispensed with.
 The motion was carried.
 | MT. Graham (Talladega)-I ask unanimous consent that an ordinance
 which was undoubtedly by error re- | ferred to my Committee, be referred to l the Committee on Suffrage and Elec- tions. It is document number 50, and
 relates solely to those who shall vote. | and hold office, and I ask unanimous | consent that this document now be re- ferred to the Committee on Suffrage
 and Elections. l The President-Unless there be ob-
 jection the ordinance will be 50 refer | red
 MT. Fletcher (Madison)--I introduced | an ordinance. number 89, which was
 referred to the Committee on Taxation
 which related exclusively to municipal l corporations; 1 ask that 1t be with
 drawn from that Committee and be
 referred to the Committee on Munich | pal Corporations.
 The President-Unless there is ob- l lection, ordinance No. S9 will be with l drawn from the Committee on Taxa
 tion. and referred to the Committee on
 Municipal Corporations.
 | The President-The Clerk will con- | tinue the call of the roll for the intro-
 duction of ordinances, etc, where we
 left off on yesterday.
