THE LABORERS' PAY.
The consideration of House Bill 1874,
which makes $l.25 the lowest pay per
day for laborers in public employ,
brought an amendment from Sheldon to
boost the amount to 81 80, which would
make the bill the same as that vetoed
by the Governor.
Pail wanted to know what sense there
was in sending a bill to certain death
along the veto route, whereat Sheldon
withdrew his amendment.
The bill passed third reading in its
original form.

ing the appointment of Waikiki Re

COTrNrv poNrnS
The measure authorizing the raising
of loan funds by the counties on the
issue of bonds brought discussion on
high finance between Rawlins and Rice,
the former expressing a fear that the
restrictions specified as to interest, |
discount and redemption of bonds might |
result in difficulty in selling them,
while Rice declared that the bonds |
would be gilt-edged security and bound
to go at premium. The bill passed.
House Bill 100, which is the companion |
bill of the previous one and allows
the Territory to accept county bonds
in, payment for whatever might be sold
any of the counties, waterworks sys-
tens, let it be whispered, passed with
out opposition.
House Bill 1856 was further postponed.
