cosTL,Esr SESSION OF ALL

The 1915 legislative assembly
has been.the most expensive of all
sessions the state has had.
Auditor Jorgenson says that the
cost to the state so far has been
in excess of $102,433.OO. The ex-
act cost can not be arrived at fol-
some months as all the expenses
have not yet come in.
The 1915 legislature cost the
state $1O2,430; the 1913 $95,O47.-
Sc; the 1911 session $95, 2O4 &c
and the 1909 session $96,6i5. II
will thus be seen that the cost OF
the last session despite its pro-
INDICATIONS of economy was fa1
from being such.
