The following bills passed the third

To amend the law of descent which

not exceed $50O;) to fix the time for
selling real estate for taxes in Jack
son county; to relieve the board of az
riculture from contributing to the cur
rent expenses of the Agricultural &

said he did not oppose the bill but it
should go before the committee on
appropriation, as although it relieved
the board of agriculture from cOntri-
buting to the college, it provided for
an appropriation. Mr.. Mclean, chair
man of the agricultural committee
which reported the bill favorobly, 2sk-
ed the bill be not referred. He asked
that his original bill which was set
for a special order be Withdrawn and
a bill which carried unanimously in
the House containing the same re-
ports, be substituted. Mr.. Mclean
said the board of agriculture should
not appropriate their funds to the Agri-
cultural & Mechanical College; that
these amounts should not come from
the pockets of the farmers alone. He
hoped Scales motion would be voted
: down. Scales said the bill carried
with it an appropriation of $40, 900 and
i
tee. He said investigation never hurts
a good bill and if it was proper one
it would not be hurt and Jew days
delay would work no injury. He ask
ed what was the use of such commit
tee if it we're not referred to the proI
er committee Mclean asked if tn
