~ siders a very important and seri-

house was considering the sundry
civil bill by items. Here are parts of
the debate on packing boxes:
Mr.. Mann-"I move to strike out
the last word. The next item in the
current law is provision for packing
boxes. 1t was left out of this bill. |
think there is an item in the bill for
packing boxes for senator's"
Mr.. Wood-"Nine hundred and sew
enty dollars
Mr.. Mann-"It is not matter of
any very great Importance to me per-
sonally, but / was wondering what the
special reason was for refusing to
make provision for packing boxes,
especially for the new members of the
next house."

for this purpose last year. The clerk,
who has the expenditure in charge, as
certained that he could not get the
boxes without paying three times as
much as the appropriation and three
times as much as he formerly paid
for them. In view of that fact. no
boxes were purchased"
Mr.. Mann.-"The purpose of prOvid
ing packing boxes was to furnish box
es which could be used in carrying Off
cial documents hack and forth hptyvppn
Washington and our homes, including
