PAY OF MEMBERS.
Mr. HUMPHREYS. In compliance with the request of my constituents, as well as with my own feelings, and believing there is a disposition on the part of every member of this House, to curtail the ex- page: 5[View Page 5] penses of the State Government, and believing it well to commence here, I offer the following bill:
A Bill [S. 1.] for An Act to amend the first section of an act approved December 19th, 1872, and entitled "An act fixing the per diem and mileage of members of the General Assembly, and providing that they shall provide their own stationery."
[It makes the pay five dollars per day, and mileage, five dollars for every twenty-five miles.]
It was read the first time, and passed to the second reading.
