Mr. Gill submitted the following :

Whereas, Under Article 78, Code Public Laws, the
State Printers have been requested to print a certain
number of bills, which numbers have been found to be
inadequate to the wants of the former Legislature, and
whereas, the increase in the number of Members of the
present House, will tend largely to increase this defi-
ciency, it is ordered, that Wm. J. C. Dulany Co., State
Printers, be authorized and directed to print 100 addi-
tional copies of all bills they are now required, and
print under the present contract, the same to be paid
for at the rate provided for in Article 78, and the
amount to be taken out of the appropriation for State
Printing for the Session of 1904.

Which was read, and referred to the Committee on
Printing.
