use in sending lawyers to the mainland
from here TO do this work We can get
better lawyers there 90 do the work
and for less money These lawyers
here talk good deal here. but they are
small potatoes when they get 10 the
mainland. ! e vor the employment Of
attorneys already there"
Hayselden favored his own amend
ment with the amount reduced TO 81
900.
1T is "a fact" said Achl. that we can
get a better lawyer on the mainland,
one who knows che practice there bet
ter than our lawyers do. There Is our
own former attorney-general there. Mr..
Dole. I believe that we could get him
to do the work for $500 or 800"
Dowsett did not think the entire
amount need be spent because it was
appropriated. The thing would be iu
the discretion Of the attorney general
u believe there are better lawyers d.
the mainland" said Lane, but ] do
not believe they are cheaper, and. any
way there Is no graft"

which was to increase the amount Of
the attorney generals incidentals,
which would put the money entirely
within the control Of the attorney gen
eral.

an appropriation Of $1,000 specifically for
making a defense Of the County Act on

$1,000, and available only for an appeal
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States.

taken in saying that the title had al
ready been given. II was ready, ant

! Achi said that courts were not sup
posed to pay profits. That was not wha
they were for, and he said the cour

that the item be put in at the large
amount.

most reprehensible.
Dickey explained that he had gone {
the Treasurer and asked the informa
ton, and the letter was in response {
