1876.] OF THE SENATE. 979

House has been holding three Sessions daily. In addition,
we would state, that while we have from time to time given
drafts upon the Comptroller, for amounts that would enable
the Printer to prosecute the work, we have reserved more than
one-fifth of the whole amount named in the contract, to be
paid by the Comptroller upon the completion of the Docu-
ments yet to be printed, the Journals of both Houses, and the
printing of the Laws and Resolutions. Your Committee
believing they have discharged their duties to the best of their
ability, would respectfully ask the adoption of this report,
and that the Committee be discharged.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
