In the House this order was read and
passed and sent to the Senate for con-
currenCe.
Mr.. DAVIES of Cumberland: Mr..
President, I would inquire II the order
was referred to any committees The or
der directs report by bill or otherwise
and l was wondering how the report
would be made by a bill under the gen
eral passage Of the order
The PRESIDENT: The order is not
referred to any committee.
On motion by Mr.. Davies, the order
was referred to the committee on State
prisons and sent down for concurrence.
From the House: Ordered, that the
State highway commission file with the
legislature forthwith an itemized state
ment Of all expenditures incurred by it
during the past two years, which state
ment shall include particularly and in
detail the amount expended In actual
road construction, exclusive Of surveys,
inspection, salaries, etc, as well as a
detailed statement Of all other expendi-
lures.
In the House this order was passed and
sent to the Senate for concurrence after
having been amended by the adoption of
House Amendment A, as follows:
Amend said order by inserting the
words, The Senate concurring' after the
word Ordered, In the first line of the
order"
Mr. DAVIES of Cumberland: Mr..
President, my view is that orders of that
kind should not be passed without having
reference to a committee. 1t seems to
me that IN an order of that kind the
highway commission should have an OPP
portunity to be heard. I move that the
order and amendment as adopted by
the House be referred to the committee
on ways and bridges.
The motion was agreed to.
Sent down for concurrence
