The stationery was purchased by the Librarian under an
orier of the Legislature, and that officer was before the Com-
mittee, proved the accounts, and certified to the reasonable-
ness of the charges.
It has been usual to allow the Librarian some compensa-
tion for purchasing and distributing the stationery, and the
Committee recommend that they be authorized to do so in
this case.
The expense incurred for this object is- about one-half the
amount usually expended by the Legislature. The Commit-
tee, therefore, recommend the payment of Messrs. Cushing
& Medary's account for $2,103 50, and of the account of
Messrs. J. W. Bond & Co., for $2,319 00.
The carpenter's account for the Repairs and alterations of
the Hall and Committee Rooms, will be reported when sat-
isfactorily adjusted by the Committee.
The Committee also recommend the payment of James
Legg's account for furnishing ice for the use of the Conven-
tion, $43 65.
Under an order of the Convention passed on the 31st of
May, the Committee was required to take into consideration
the propriety of paying a sum of money to S. T. Herbert
for services rendered this Convention before the due installa-
tion into office of the officers of the Convention, and report
the same to this House for its adoption.
The Committee have required into the merits of this case,
and respectfully report that Mr. S. T Herbert appears to
have rendered voluntary services in the folding-room before
the appointment of the additional folders, and the Commit-
tee are of opinion that he is entitled to compensation for
eight days service. They recommend that he be paid accord-
ingly.
