AID TO CLERK.

Paris presented report of the Ac-
counts Committee on the resolution to
allow the clerk 20 cents a page for
typewriting the Senate minutes and rs
cents page for preparing copy for
printing the Journal, including proof
reading and the employment of help
er. It was found that the rates were
fair and the adoption of the resolution
was recommended.
Dickey objected that the estimate
was not definite enough. There APP
peared to be a proposed outlay of
1925, merely to get the proceedings
ready for printing. He meSed the re-
port be laid on the table to be con-
sidered with the resolution.
Paris and Achi discussed the de-
tails and the clerk, through the Presi-
dent explained that the 20 cents a
page had nothing to do with the work
thereafter. but was to pay for extra
work on the minutes at the present
time.
