is yet to be paid the printing of the
Journal of the Senate and the extra
compensation of the clerk.
Your committee would call attention
to the expenses incurred by the Spe-
cial Committee on County Bill, which
incurred legal expenses amounting to
$500. This amount was for the opin-
ion of two law firms. Your committee
believe that an opinion of one good
law firm is sufficient and ought to be
all that committees should be empow-
cred to incur.
Respectfully submitted,

Chairman.

1 concur excepting the last item. I
believe the question was of such i'm
portance that the amount paid was
justified.

sum of about $4,000 would be required
for having the Journal printed. when

consider the concurrent resolution on
county government, but as Achi ques-
toned if the mover had voted in the
