{ Mr.. Stubs inquired into the reason
| for this Innovation.
Some Of the departments were self.
sustaining. and in case OF litigation
| counsel fees should be paid out of their
funds. Mr.. Oliver moved to strike out
the whole section. Mr.. Cooke defended
the proposition. The argument for
striking out was that the Attorney
General and his assistant could do the
work.
b1essrs. Ewing and Pitts spoke on the
proposition. after which Mr.. Pitts Of
fered angamendment which would make
tho amounts payable out of the funds
OF the departments. Mr.. Oliver agreed
to this IL there were added provision
that the Acknowledgement. with the
Governor. should make the appointment
of counsel.
Speaker Byrd (A1r. Bell in the chair)
thought the chairman OF the State Cor
poration commission should be added
to the appointing power, as much of
the legal work comes from rulings OF
that body. Mr.. Evans objected on the
ground that in cases before the COM
mission the Judge would be appointing
the attorney.
The Stubs amendment, as amended
by Messrs. Oliver and Byrd. was adopt
ed.
Money for Next Year.
This ended the appropriations for
the first year. For 1911. as matter
OF course. the amounts are exactly Sim
liar in most cases. However. there are
some changes.

is added for the second year for a

The contingent expenses of the State

reduced from $4,000 to $11,5O0.
When the library was reached, Mr..

for travelling Libraries and the Journals
of the House of Burgesses on the pre-
