This completed the bills recommend
ed for passage by the steering com
mittee and Mr.. Fall moved the ap-
pointment of q committee to notify
the governor and the house that the
council was about ready to adjourn.
and Messrs. Hawkins, Andrews and
Spiess were named as the committee.
A recess was taken to await the re-
port of the committee. The recess was
broken to receive q committee from
the house consisting of Messrs. Tur-
ner, Bowie and Gutierrez. as a com.
mittee from the house to notify the
council that that body was ready to
adjourn.
Mr.. Amado Chaves moved the sus-
pension of the rules to take up and
consider house Joint resolution No.
4, to appropriate $3.50 to pay the six
members Of the regular capitol force
$50 each extra for their labors during
the session. Mr.. Fall protested and
said the council had on its pay rolls
men who were paid to do the very
work which the regular employees had
been compelled to do, but the men on
the council roll had not attended to
their duties. He did not believe 1t
was right. Mr.. Fall then said there
were two employees of the council who
had been the most faithful in the per-
Torrance of their duties, who had nev-
er missed a session. who had worked
outside of session hours and who had
done well and yet, through some tan
gle. no provision had been made for
their pay for the last 20 days and
they would lose that money, so far as
the council was concerned. He de-
nounced as an outrage paying men
who are on the territorial pay roll and
letting those two employees work 20
days without pay. He said that per-
s~onally he intended to see that they
did not lose all. The resolution was
adopted. Mr.. Fall rose from his seat
and walking forward quietly handed
to one of the employees who was left
off the pay roll, $50 from his W
pocket.
There was a suspicious looking af-
fair on the presidents desk and Mr..
Fall rose and stated that there was
some unfinished business on the pres
ident's desk that he would like to have
disposed of. He called on Chief Clerk
Martin, and Mrs. Martin, who was an
interested spectator, to stand up. Mr..
Fall then read the following:
