The resolution was sent to free cor
ference, the president Of the senate

A rather sharp debate resulted ever
the report Of the comptroller geaer-
al on The resolution Of Senator Wight
man asking for a LIST Of the salaries
and employees Of the state govern
ment. Walter E. Duncan, comptroller
general, sent communication to the
senate advising that body Of the re-
pert on the resolution made by the
treasurer and asking for more time
and help if he was to'furnish every
warrant paid cut as a salary. Nh.
Duncan explained that the job would
require great mass Of detailed work,
which would be impossible for his CT
flee to do in the ten days allowed,
and unless more help was provided.
, Senator Clifton took exception to
the renort. holding that the comp
troller general had not done avhat the
senate had requested him to do. and
saying that the comptroller general
had no right to arrogate to himself
what ne should or should not DO. Mr..
Clifton wanted the comptroller gen
eral required to furnish the informa-
ton asked for. Mr.. Clifton said if the
comptroller coul}S't furnish the IN
formation, why get a new comptcoi-
ler general.

nation he wanted had not been fur

shouldn't. He said he wanted to turn
on The light, and if the treasurer and
ccrprolIer said 10 light was to be
turred on, and this was agreeable to
the senate, why it was all right with
him.
Senator Hart explained the great
amount of work necessi:ated by the

would be useless to require 30 much
work 10 be dcne and then never act
ed UPON by the general assembly.
