The other bill which awakened some
talk was II. 227, the bill creating the
Office of state engineer. The committee
recommended that the salary of the Off

be fixed at $4,000. Mr.. Barrett of Cabot
objected and moved to amend by insert
ing $4,000.
After several members, including Mr..
Bond of Searsburg and Mr.. Perkins of
Waterbury, expressed the belief that
$1,000 was little enough, the speaker quot
ed rule 81 and said the vote on the larger
sum must be taken before the amend
ment could be considered. The House
unanimously favored $4,000, and Mr.
Barretts proposed amendment was au
tomatically refused without a second
vote. and the bill was advanced to a
third reading. Two bills were passed in
concurrence, and nine were passed and GO
to the Senate for concurrence.
