EXTRA ALLOWANCE TO COMMITTEEMEN.
The Committee to which was referred the resolution requesting the allowance of expenses of the Prison Committee, reported that they are page: 237[View Page 237] unable to make any recommendation in regard to the matter knowing no rule of the House governing or allowing them to make such allowance. The Committee recommend that the House adopt one of the three following plans:
(1) That Committees that officially visit Public Institutions under order or leave of the House, be allowed the same mileage as members, and per diem equal to the ordinary charges of hotels; or
(2) That Committees which officially visit Public Institutions under order or leave of the House be allowed the amount of their actual traveling expenses, to be set forth in itemized bills; or
(3) Those visiting Public Institutions under order of the House, be allowed to do so and pay their own expenses.
The report was laid on the table.
