THE HoUsE-FIFTY FOURTH DAY.
After disposing of the usual rou-
tine business, House Bill z, to COM
pensate e p Dole in the Osaka
Mankichi case, was taken up on
third reading and passed, % ayea,
there being absentees.
Then House Bill s, relating to the

six months, was taken up and pass
ed on third reading, % ayes end l
no (Greeuweli).
On suspension OF the rules, Lewis,
on special committee relating to the
disappearance OF certain barrels OF
cement, presented report on the
same. The committee 6nds anoth-
or diversion OF appropriations and
only by the mere Say so" OF the
officials the cement was used on
different public works. Marston
Campbell claims freedom from all
responsibility, as the warehouses
storing the cement being under the
control OF Mr. Edwards, resident
engineer in charge OF sewer con,
struction. All bills being approv-
ed by Campbell this claim falls t.
the ground, but it was plain to be
the duty of the Road Supervisor
to keep a sharp lookout for it and
safeguard the interests OF his de-
partment. The same responsibility
is also upon the other officials con-
csrned. 1t considers the diversion
OF funds specifically appropriated
by the Legislature reprehensible in
tue highest degree aud violation
OF the duties Of officers and there
fore recomm snds that this practice
bs disc ontinued and that hereafter
funds in all departments are strictly
applied as appropriated. Adopted
aud ordered spread upon the jour
nal, on motion OF Vida.
