| Brown with himself and recommended

THIRD READINGS TODAY.
The bill to repeal Chap. 70 of the p.
| G.. laws, providing for the issuance of
Treasury notes, passed second reading,
to be read third time today. Mr.. Achi
explained before the vote that there
was doubt as to the legality of Treas
ury notes under the Organic Act, there
fore it was deemed best to repeal the
law.
The bill authorizing the Treasurer to
open accounts with any bank or banks,
subject to the approval of the Gov
ernor. passed second reading, to be read
a third time today.
The House bill relating to internal
taxes came up on second reading and
Mr.. McCandless moved it be referred
to the judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Achi said they would save time
by passing the bill It's only idea was
to allow the Treasurer to pay collectors
of taxes by commission or salary as
he saw fit. Down at Eva the collector
would make $4,000 by commission, so he
was paid a salary but it was not legal.
Mr.. Brown wanted it referred to a
committee because If collectors We're
paid salaries they would not go round
as they ought.
Mr.. Dckey was in favor of referring
the bill but wanted it passed first. Mr..
McCandless asked why and the speaker
answered because it only needed a
change of wording to make it properly
express its idea.
The bill passed second reading and
then Mr. Dickey moved it be referred
to the Finance Committee, but the mo-
. ton failed to obtain consent for sus-
pending the rules as necessary and the
bill was ordered read a third time to-
day.

the third reading of House bill No. l

as the reason that a movement wa!
on foot, with which it was believed the
House would agree, to provide some
thing for the INDECENT sick. Carried.
