Legislative BIunders.

The list of blunders made by the

the latest discovered by the Lincoln
County Record:
Assembly bill No. 92- which was
introduced by Mr.. Syphus of Panaca,
affecting the bonded Indebtedness of
this county as originally introduced by
him, calls for the issuance of $500, 900
non-interest bearing bonds in one por-
ton of the bill This was later amend
ed to read 100000, and also that in
stead of the bonds being in denomina-
tions of one hundred. three hundred
and five hundred dollars, they should
be in denominations of five hundred
and one thousand dollars. This bill
passed both houses amended in this
manner but through some error when
it was transmitted to the Governor
for his signature it read 100000, but
the other protion of the bill read as
amended. -t.sy9
