PAY OF EMPLOYES.
Mr. KENNER moved that the employes of the House receive the same pay for the special session that was fixed by the report of the Committee on Mileage for the regular session, and that the Speaker draw his warrant for the amount as heretofore.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Gibson's bill (H. R. 237] concerning landlord and tenant was read the third time. [The bill remedies defects in the old law. It provides, among other things, that a landlord may have a lien upon one-half of the tenant's crop.]
Mr. GIBSON--This bill seeks to improve the old law. For instance, what constitutes a proper notice by the landlord to remove a tenant this bill corrects. It also meets the case where the renter removes crops without the landlord's consent. This is a very carefully prepard bill, one that merits passage.
This bill was favored by several members who were landholders, one gentleman stating that under the old law it was almost impossible to remove a bad tenant, and consequently the business of renting land had almost ceased.
The roll was called for a vote on the passage of the bill, and there not being a quorum present, further action was deferred until some future time.
