Many more thousands can be

States money by Especial or
ders" and by beginning the pay
of legislative employees only on
the day they begin work.
The commission also recon-
mends that during the legisla-
tive sessions the care of the
State House be put in the care
of the Superintendent of Build
ings and Grounds, as it is at
other times, and that he be au-
thorized to employ. with the con-
sent of the Governor. such addi-
tional laborers as may be requir-
ed to keep it in order.
Two bills were submitted by
the commission designed to carry
it's recommendations into effect,
together with a schedule show
ing what each proposed legisla-
tive employe will cost the State,
contrasted with what each cost
