that the man should have as much pay
as carpenter could earn in any other
job but was ruled down. The item
was brought up after recess by Senator
Mccarthy and raised as desired by
Senator Smith

from the water sales are sufficient to
warrant these salaries and still be a
paying institution. The Superintend-
