resentatlvo Murray of Thurston county was
in correct form and simply appropriated
the full sum of $3,182 to Thurston county.
The second section of the original bill au
thorized the auditor to draw a warrant for
that amount In favor cf the county.
llnilly Mlxcil.
'
The bill was referred to the claims com-
mlttcc , of which Beverly of Douglas was
chairman. The form of the enrolled bill Is
attrlbutnblo to amendments offered by the
claims committee , which recommended
amendments giving Cumlng and Dlxon
counties the amounts niove | stated.
As the bill now stands the title , Is notes
os broad as the contents of the apt and
there IB no explanation In the "whereas' , '
elating for what the appropriations-In favor
of Cuinlng and Dlxori counties , are made.
Finally the auditor Is not authorized to
draw the warrant In favor of Thurston
county , while ho Is' In the other two
cases. It leaves the matter In a very dis
putable condition.
It has been discovered that the legislature
made no appropriation to carry out the pro
visions of 8. F. 281 , which was Introduced
by Senator Prout nnd authorizes the gov
ernor to buy 4,010 medals to be presented
to the officers and men of the First ,
Second and Third Nebraska regi
ments , together with Troop K , In the name
of tha stato. The governor Is empowered
to buy these medals , but Is given no funds
to pay the bill.
This leaves the matter In the same shape
ns the sugar bounty , which was author
ized , but no money appropriated to pay the
same.
