j i WORK OF THE LECISLATURE Further Investigation Into State Business Discovers Morg Rottenness. ds T of Public Lafids and Bulldings Has Ex- ey Hlegaily to Furnish ds With Funds. pended M Frie Lincory, Neb,, March 24.—[Special Tele gram to Tug Bre]—From the manner in which proof of the utter untrustworthiness of the members of the Board of Public Lands 4nd Buildings is accumulating before the legislature, it will soon be possible to throw awav all the evidence taken in the cell house and asylum investigations and impeach them on evidenco that is entirely new A partial report of the committee on claims was submitted to the house this morning by Porter. The committee was not ‘ready to submit its full report, but as tho members wanted to know something about what was goiag on Porter told them enough to convince them that there was any amount of official rottenness that had not yev been brought to light Funds Used Tleg Iy, The report was largely verbal, tt portion setting forth some of the fi facts: “Wo further find that in 1591 there was appropriated the sum of &.,000 for fuel and lights for the capitol building, and that of that sum there was used for paying ployes 82,035, We find in house roll No 543 certam items of alleged indebtedness of the state in favor of certain firms for conl fur- nished for the capitol building amounting to $1,680. This amount, if deducted from the aforesaid amount paid out, would leave a balance of £357.58 unexpended of - the £7.000 appropriation for fuel and lights. It is the opinion of your committee that the Board of Public Lands and Buildings, in drawing upon the appropriation for fuel and lights for the payment of employes, acted without warrant of law. “‘We also find that there was appropriated written ywing in 1891 for employes wages for capitol building | the sum of £0,000, which your committce be- lieves to have been ample for the payment of all necessary employ Robbed by itor Service, he report further sets forth the fact that an outrageous steal has been perpetrated in the matter of cleaning up the legislative halls preparatory to assembling of the law- makers. Evidence was introduced before the committee to show that the head janitor had informed the bog dozen extra men for a few days, and the expense would b slight: but the board would not consent to have it done that way The report states that the board put on a large force of assistant janitors and kept them employed during the greater part of the month. It further sets forth the fact that these individuals were incompetent, und were placed on the pay roll sclely for the purpose of paying political debts of members of the Board of Pub Lands and Buildings. The names of some of them appear in the miscellaned indebtedness appropriation bill. For stance, there is the claim of £ S. Hill of the ex-state treasurer, for §72 for janitor work for the house. J. H. Graham, son of the present candidato for mayor of Lincoln, trundled a carpet sweeper down the corridor trom the house to the senate chamber, and the Board of Public Lands and Buildings allowed him $ and now want the state to pay. Frank Cowdery, son, of Ben Cowders ex-secrelary of state, was allowed to poses S assistant nitor for two _or three days an although the evidence shows that all the work he did was to empty an ink-well and wash it. the board, recommended that he be paid $8 for that wearing physical exertion Stmply Stralght-Out Stealing. The report states that these and two doze others were political appointments, made solely for the purpose of allowing friends of the board to get their hands into the treas- ury w take therefrom state money for which they offered nothing in return. ‘Fhe report scores the board severely for such an un- warranted procceding. When it s stated that some of the parties who were thus placed on the pay roll to do wmenial labor are among the *‘social bloods™ of the capital city. it may readily be judged as to the good faith of the members of the board in making the appointments. That it was a deliberate move to rob the state there is, under the circumstances. no room for doubt. The house recelved the report in ominous silence that boded no good to the members of the board and deferred action untii the full report, is submitted. Given Another Black Eye, House roll 811, the incidental legislative appropriation bill, came back from the sen- ate with an amendment allowing the mem- bers to pay for newspapers and postage. The house refused to concur in the amend- ment. The body then resolved itself iuto committec of the whole to consider the miscellaneous indebtedness appropria- tion bill. Discussion of it was not mpleted when the time for the noon recess came. All the items for fuel and light for the state house w stricken out of the bill, as it was held by the minority of the members that the appropriations of two years ago for those purposes were aqply sufticient haa not the money been d out unnec The bill was ~then recommended for passage as amended, A Senate file No. 10, providing for doing away with the registration of voters in cities of the second class, was recomimended for in- definite postponement. Senate file No. 24, providing for the ap- pointment of police matrons in citics of the first class, was recommended for passage. he ccmmittec then rose and the report was adopted House roll No. 443, providing for an in- crease in the salary of the warden of the penitentiary, was ordered engrossed for third reading in accordance with the amend- ments ordered when the bill was recom- mitted. Judge Doane Instead of Judge Wakeley. Chairman Barry of the impeachment com- mittee reported that Judge Wakeley had declined to serve on the advisory commission because of connection with matte pending, and Casper reported that the demo- crats had caucused again and agreed upon Judge Doane as their representative, and that he would accept. The choice was rati- fled by the house, Ricketts then secured the advance of hou roll No. 246, Ames’ bill, providing for safety valves on all vessels containing carbonic acid gas under prossure. The house was not dis- posed to allow it to be advanced, but the talk of the Douglas county member was right to the point, and so interested the other members that the bill was advanced almost before they knew it. It was a plain case of general hypnotism on the tloor of the open house. An adjournment was then taken until 10 o'clock tomorrow That Plumbing Inspoction Law.

At the meeting of the county commis- oners, held yesterday afternoon, City k- ineer Rosewater presented the plans and specifications for the proposed paving of the three roads leading from the city limits to the country. The specifications provide for the Tilford pavement, macadam on concrete, stone on concrete, stone on sand and vitrified brick on a concrete i ‘This pavement, whichever kind is selected, will be sixteen feot in width between the curbs, with tiling beneath to give an under drainage. The clerk was instructed to ad- vertise thirty days for bids for doing the grading and pavinz in order to_have mon on hand to start the work. The clerk was also instructed to advertise for bids for the sale of the #150,000 of road bonds voted at the election held last summer. J. C. McArdle, the precinct, tendercd his resignation, declaring that under the provisions of the new law he could not assess the property of his precinct and be an honest man. The blanks, he said, compelled him to list the property at its full value, while nothing of the kind was in- tended by the county authorities or the as- sessors of the other precinets. The igna- tion was accepted and before the next meet- ing, which will be held next Friday morn- ing, the commissioners will attempt to find a McArdle precinct man who has a more elas- tic conscience.

City Attorney Confident of Recovering Taxes from Pullman. City Attorney Counell is preparing his an- swer to the case brought in the federal court by the Pullman company to prevent the city from collecting $14,000 in delinquent taxes from that corporation for the years 1886, 1857, 1888 ana 1880. The case will come up for nearing before Judge Dundy soon. Mr, Connell is very confident that the city will come out on the top of the heap and can see no possible chance for the company to escape the payment of the taxes standing ugainst it upon the books of the treasurer. Not only does he believe that the taxes will be collected for those years, but he is of the opinion that reassessment can be ord- ered and taxes of a like amount can be col- lected for the years subsequent to 1880 up to the present time. The assessment for the latter years are returned by the state board and the taxes amount to but a few dollars for each year. These the company paid when the treasurer commenced proceedings sollect the delinquent taxes for the pr If the attorney is correct in his views and the council sees fit tolorder a reas- sessment for the years since 1850, the city treasury will be made better off by several thousand dollars when the company is com- pelled to pay in the amounts. b L2y Abe d for North Galveston.
