The second reading of House bill
No. /, by Mossman, appropriating s45,-
600 for covering the expenses of the
present session of the legislature, was
about the last matter of business
transacted by the Senate. The bill
finally passed its second reading after
considerable opposition from the min
GRITTY. AT the conclusion of the read
ing, Mr.. Achi moved the bill be re-
ferred to the Committee of Public
Expenditures. Mr. Achi also took oc-
casion to state that he believed the
amount called for was excessive in
referring TO the above committee.
quite sum could be shaved from the
figures in the bill.
Mr.. White on the other hand wanted
the bill to pass its second reading
He did not see the necessity of the
~ tfr,n IN, &c
referred to a committee.
Mr.. Carter then made an eloquent
plea for economy He stated that to
his positive knowledge many of the
heads of departments had consented
to material reduction of their salar-
les. The only stipulation has been
that the wages of their employees re-
main at the same figure. He was of
the opinion that the amount asked for
in the bill for the expense of the legis-
lature was extravagant. He admonish-
ed the legislators that the money
would come from the pockets of the
taxpayers. He also reminded them of
the fact that the revenue derived from
postal and custom house receipts was
no more Mr.. Carter was of the opin-
ion that if the Legislature did no. ex-
ercise economy in the matter Of its
expenditures. that body could not with
becoming grace ask the territorial off,
Gals TO practice the fine art of expense
reduction. The speaker wound up by
predicting shortage of funds IN the
treasury. II the present alleged rcck-
less career of the legislators was not
summarily checked.
Mr.. Paris concurred in the remarks
OF his fellow Senators in the minority.
He urged close and careful attention
by the Senators to the provisions OF
the bill.
Retrenchment was the burden Of
Mr.. Browns address. He was of the |
opinion that $4,000 was a broad and
iioeral amount He advocated the |
same display of jealous care upon the |
part OF the lawmakers in dealing with
affairs of the people. as would be exhi-
bited by business man in looking |
after his personal interests. Mr.. |
Brown strongly advocated moderation. |
The motion of Mr.. White that the |
bill pass its second reading passed. |
The Senate adjourned shortly before |
1850.
