Mr. SPANN said the Committee evidently thought the main features of the bill would be a good thing, but the Committee, have sought to kill off the bill by reducing the pay of the men who are to act as short-hand reporters so low that no man in the State would work under it. Such a law would be inoperative and void. He moved to amend by making the pay $5 a day.
The amendment was agreed to, and the bill ordered engrossed for the third reading.
