fered by Mr.. Vaughn would empower
the department to engage a clerk
counsel and such other assistance as
may be deemed necessary at an ex-
pense not to exceed $4,000 annually
in any year in which an election is
held, not including compensation of
members.
One of the bills presented by Repre-
sentative Rash provides that the State
Treasurer and the Levy Court shall baud
over to the Department of Elections for
disbursement, the money to pay regi
stration officers and election officers and
clerks. Another bill offered by Mr.. Rash
provides that the Department of Flee
tions shall have forty DAYS, instead of
ten days, in which to deliver books
containing names of qualified voters over
to the Clerk of the Peace after cleo
tion day
To Correct Code Errors.
Representative Hoch introduced
two bills, relating to the office of the
Secretary of State One is to estab-
lish by statute the contingent fund for
that office at $4,000 a year, the amount
that has been appropriated for sew
eral years for that purpose.
In the revised code the amount of
the contingent fund is fixed at $4,000,
which evidently is a mistake made in
the revision. The other bill is to
sanction three clerks for the Office of
Secretary of State, the number that
has been there for six years. In the
revised code but two. clerks are pro-
vided for, which also evidently is a
mistake, Mr.. Hoch's bill being to legal
lie the three clerks, as before the code
revision. There are two other clerks
in the Secretary of States office, one
of whom is paid out of the contingent
fund and the other by Secretary Mil
Ter personally.
Opposes Legislative Visits.
Because of their intention to visit
Delaware College the Women's College
and the College Farm, at Newark, to-
morrow, the Senate and House will adj
lourn this afternoon until Monday.
Representative Richards. of the vista
ton committee, today reported that tine
committee had arranged to visit the
above institutions tomorrow
Representative Evans stated that
he was opposed to the House as a
body visiting State institutions.
He favored the appointment of
committees to visit such institutions.
and thought better results could be
accomplished in that way as well
as the State being saved money.
Il realize il is now too late on this
occasion to carry out the committee
plan, but think it will be best in the
future" said Mr.. Evans. eve start
ed out to have economy; it will cost
considerable for the entire member
ship to visit these institutions and
will also cost for the college officials
to entertain, which cost will eventual
ly come out of the State treasury.
The report was accepted and the Sen
ate will act on a similar report this
afternoon.
The first committee reports of the
session on bills were made this after
noon in the House. The bills intro
duced yesterday relative to a change
in the Board of Education election of
New Castle and to authorize the Sec
rotary Of State to use a stamp for his
signature to automobile licenses were
reported favorably.
