The foregoing resolution introduced yes
terday by Mr.. Fryberger was passed by
the , house to-day without a dissenting
voice. W. A. Nolan protested against it's
being pressed. Mr.. Fryberger said he was
not a particular friend of the public ex-
aminer, but he was in favor of encourag-
Ing public officers to do their duty. Two
bills had been introduced in the house
aimed at the public examiner, and he
thought the resolution should be adopted
to show that there was no animus against
the public examiner: AS for himself, he
would vote, for the Burns bill, as it was
proposed to amend it. '+~>~, :, :,
Mr.: Burns said he hll*not aimed his
bill at the public examiner, and he be-
lieved him to be very efficient officer.
He: was ready to vote for the resolution.
Mr.. Wilson added that his bill was not
aimed at any one, and was not intended as
slap at the public examiner: He also
promised to regale the members Of the
house with roast Of certain newspa pers
when the proper time came. The resolu-
ton was then adopted. >-2"E
The Burns bill came up a little later.

| the" author accepted, cutting out only the
| fees for examining building. and loana as
sociations, and still giving the public ex-
| aminer the $500 received for examining
| st. Paul officials. This, Mr.. Shearer ex-
| plained, would give the public examiner
about s4,1o0 a year, which he thought
about right, though it was unfortunate
that the proposition was brought up at
| this time. - 81 81. n
