STATE AUDITOR
BILL IS KILLED
HALL'S PET MEASURE FAILS.
TO BE NO EXPERT BOOKKEEPER
TO AIDIT ACCOUNTS.
Bill by Harden of Chatham Hoßtilnt
ine Seining for Flub Mn* Paed.
hat Required the Vote of the
Speaker—Other Measure* Thnt Re
ceived the Consideration of tlie
Hone—Night Session Was Found
Necessary.
Atlanta. Ga.. Aug. B.—Joe Hill Hall's
state auditor bill met an untimely de
feat at the hands of the House to-day.
The bill provided for a state auditor of
accounts to be appointed by the Gov
ernor for a period of four years, at a
salary of *2,000. with two clerks at a
salary of $1,200 each. The duty of this
official was to audit all state accounts
and put uniform systems of account
ing into all the Institutions and de
partments of the state. The bill was
opposed by Messrs. Stead of Taylor.
Reid of Campbell, and others, on the
ground of expense and because of com
plicated machinery involved.
The House adopted an amendment by
Mr. Curry of Hart, providing for the
auditor’s election by the people. Mr.
Hall then moved to table the bill, as
he says its purposes would be defeated
unless the Governor could appoint an
expert bookkeeper to the office. The
motion was carried and this kills the
bill for the present session.
Harden's Seining Bill.
The bill by Mr. Harden of Chatham,
providing for an amendment to the
fishing law so as to prohibit seining
from March 1 to July 1, instead of June
1 to Sept. 1, as the present law pro
vides, created quite a storm of discus
sion, but was finally passed. The vote
was 87 to 11. and Speaker Morris cast
the deciding vote, giving the bill a con
stitutional majority of 88 votes. The
trouble was that many sections of the
state wanted different dates for seining,
but all the amendments proposing dif
ferent times were killed, as was also a
substitute proposing to permit seining
at all times. The hill was amended
also so as to prohibit the use of lire
arms and spears in killing fish.
The House passed a bill by Mr. Mc-
Henry of Floyd, amending Section 592
of the Code so as to permit cities and
towns to issue duplicate fi. fas. for
taxes in place of 11. fas. lost or dis
charged. just as now provided in the
case of the state and counties.
Estates to Get Pensions.
The House passed the hill by Messrs.
Beauchamp of Butts and Preston' of
Jasper, directing the Governor to cause
to be paid to the legal heirs of any
Confederate widow or soldier any pen
sion accrued and due to such widow
or soldier at the time of her or his
death. If this measure becomes a law
It will do away with the necessity for
passing so many individual pension
bills at each session of the Legisla
ture
The bill by Mr. Slaton of Fulton, ap
propriating $20,000 to build and equip
ft chemical laboratory for the Georgia
School of Technology, Was amended so
as to appropriate only SIO,OOO from the
state treasury on condition that $!0,00u
more is raised toy private subscription,
and passed by a vote of 88 to 35.
The House passed the bill by Mr.
Hall of Bibb, requiring all state offi
cials, except tax collectors, who receive
public money, to make weekly settle
ments with the state treasurer. Such
settlements are now made monthly.
For Sclrncf Hall.
The bill by Mr. Shackelford of Clark,
appropriating $29,000 to rebuild Science
Hall, one of the buildings of the uni
versity which was destroyed by tire,
was passed. There was only $23,000 in
surance on this building. Of the
amount appropriated $6,000 is to re
place furniture and apparatus.
The bill appropriating $5,000 to repair
and refurnish buildings at the Georgia
Normal Industrial College at Milledge
ville was also passed.
The House passed the bill by Mr.
Felder of Bibb, permitting 'the judge
of ten Superior Courts or Ordinary of
any county to commit to any orphans’
home, such as the Bethesda Orphan
Home at Savannah and the Georgia In
dustrial Home at Macon, upon proper
affidavit, any homeless child between
the ages of 4 and 14, which may be
found wandering on the streets, or in
possession of a dissolute woman, or
whose parents have been convicted of
crime. The county in which such com
mitment is made may appropriate SSO
a year for the support of such child.
It is made a misdemeanor to take or
entice a child away from such an in
stitution. The provisions of the bill
are not peremptory as to such Institu
tions, but simply permissive.
Exposition Commission.
At the afternoon session, a joint res
olution by Mr. Fields of Dooley was
passed, providing for a Georgia com
mission for the Jamestown (Va.) Ex
position of 1907, this commission to con
sist of the commissioner of agricul
ture. the state geologist and three citi
zens appointed by the Governor. They
are to serve without pay or expense
to the state.
To-morrow afternoon, Gen. Fttzhugh
Lee and John Goode will address the
House and Senate in Joint session on
the subject of the Jamestown Exposi
tion.
Mr. Tigner of Muscogee tried to get
up this afternoon bill No. 7, which has
been on the calendar since October.
1902, but was voted down at every
point. The bill seeks to limit the hours
of labor In cotton factories to ten
hours a day, Instead of eleven, as at
present.
The House passed the bill by Mr.
Calvin of Richmond, fixing the fee of
notaries public for protesting notes
and other commercial paper at the uni
form rate of $1.50 In each case. Un
der the present law the protest fees
vary all the way from 50 cents to $3.
The House refused 'to appropr iate SI,-
850 to put asphalt on Mitchell street,
to relieve the Supreme Court from the
noise of passing vehicles.
The remainder of afternoon session
was spent In passing Individual pen
sion bills. It was decided to hold a
night session at 8 o'clock.
Petition for Alimony,
The C4i#e of Janie Mungtn against
Dave Mungin. petition for alimony,
was filed In the Superior Court yes
terday by Attorneys Clark & Hill. The
petitioner alleges that her husband de.
serted her and two small children, and
asks the court to award her allmonv
for their support. The petition states
that the erring husband Is earning a
salary of $5 per week, "and is easily
able to aid your petitioner and his
children.”
