ernor's office. Consent was given and
the amendment was presented. Mr..
Fall said the item had been left out by
the committee because the impression
seems to prevail that the governor did
not want the fund. Mr.. Spiess said he
thought the governor ought to have 1t
whether or not as the governors office
is the poorest paid office in the terri
tory. Mr.. Hawkins said the criticism
of the item in the past was unfounded
and there is more need every year for
the executive to go in person to Wash
ington Mr.. Hughes said the governor
had not used any of the 5000 appro-
priated at the last session and saw no
necessity for incurring criticism for
two years if the governor does not de-
sire the money. Mr.. Amado Chaves
said it was necessary to have the ap-
preparation so that the governor might
use 1t If necessary. He stated that the
governor being a careful man, had not
used cent of the money of the terri
tory where not necessary. The amend
lment was adopted.
