HOUSE
Continued from Faye One

| TINS committee daring the row on sat
urday over this stenographer matter,
his kick being that he was not consult
ed by the chairman of the Public Ac-
counts Committee when some of the
| bills were being turned down. The
| resignation, which he sent to the Speak.
RS table at the time the debate was
warmest.s was not received.
| 1t is expected that the session will
not be allowed to end without con-
tinuation of this row, which will be
even more bitter when resumed.
Good Progress With Work.
| Yesterday, the fortysiXth day of the
session, found the House with PIP bills
on its record, forty of which had be-
come law up until Saturday out of
fifty-fve sent TO the Governor. Sixty
of the bills are tabled and fourteen in
definitely postponed. leaving seventy
seven struggling their way to third
readings or to the veto which has be-
fallen six of them. Only three of the
bills are on third reading in the House
and fifty are being looked after in the
Senate.
Yesterday notice was received of the
signing by the Governor of six more
House bills, these being Nos. So, "a,
159, 160, l55 and 156, and Senate Bills
Nos SO and 80, making the number of
session laws up to date rs.
Typewriting Pilikia.
There was a reference made in an an
nouncement by the Speaker, before the
minutes were read, to the stenographer
trouble of Saturday, this being that
hereafter the minutes of the House
would be furnished by the clerk from
his own notes and that the Journal
Committee would be supplied with
copies of these minutes
This cuts the ground out from under
the stenographer' claim for further
extra compensation. 1t was not spe.
officially stated, but is understood, that
the clerk gets. no extra pay for this
work.
