AN ACT To revoke and annul all exclusive rights, franchises and i of gas companies which were in existence prior to tne act" of April twenty-ninth, one thousand eight hundred and seventy- four, entitled *'An ace to provide for the incorporation and regu- lation of certain corporations," which have since accepted the provisions of said act and its supplements, pursuant to the pro- visions of the twenty-sixth section of said act, so far as said exclusive rights, firanchises and privileges are conferred by the provisions of said itct or of any amendment thereof, or supple- ment thereta Whereas, The true policy of the grant of exclu- sive rights to gas companies is the encouragement and establishment of such companies for the supply of gas where no such supply was jireviously furnished, and the real consideration for such exclusive rights is the new public service thus secured. And whereas, Many corporations long and profitaoly established have accepted the provisions of the :-aid act of one thousand eight hundred and seventy-fuur, for the purpose of securing a monopoly of a business, the conditions of which invited competition, aii'i ci forestalling the incorporation of companies about to be organized. And whereas, It is injuii'ius to the citl/.ens of the Commonwealth that the exclusive rights and privileges of gas companies which have accepted the provisions of said act of one thousand eight hundred and seventy- four, should longer continue. Now therefore. In recognition of the limitation of article one, section seventeen, and pursuant to the provisions of article sixteen, section ten of the CJon- stitution: 'wiSm^® "iM }•-**' Section 1.

This item is disapproved for the reason that, in my judgment, there exists no necessity for indexing the files of bills and arranging official papers and docu- ments. They would be rarely consulted, and the ex- pense involved I deem unwarranted. Legislative Department. The item in Section 4, which provides as follows: *Tor the payment of John Earner, janitor of the Su- preme Court rooms, for services rendered to caucuses of members of the House and to the several commit- tees of the House during the session of one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, the sum of one hun- dred dollars, to be paid on the warrant of the Auditor General upon presentation of proper vouchers." This item is disapproved because services rendered by a janitor to party caucuses should not be paid out of the public funds. Such expense should have no place in an appropriation bill for the Executive/^ Ju- dicial and Legislative Departments of the Common- wealth. Section 38, which reads as follows: **For the expen- ses of the special comittee of the Senate, approved May thirty-first, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, to examine into the question of the in- crease of crime and pauperism following the passage of the Brooks High License Law, and to inquire into the working of the same, the sum of seven hundred and fifteen dollars, or so much thereof as may be nec- essary, to be paid on the warrant of the Auditor Gen- eral upon the approval of duly certified vouchers." This item is disapproved for the reason that the expenseer alleged to have been incurred by the investi- gation were incurred by a special committee of the Senate and not a joint committee of both houses. I regard an appropriation of this character as improper and as establishing a bad precedent. Section 42, which reads as follows: "For the pay- ment of the necessary expenses of the joint commit- tee of the Senate and House, appointed to investigate the question of convict labor and to what extent it interferes with the legitimate industries of the Com- monwealth, the sum of eight thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to be paid in ac- cordance with the provisions of the act of Assembly authorizing the appointment of such committee." The foregoing item is disapproved for the reason that I regard the amount named as excessive, and be- cause the purpose for which it is appropriated will not warrant the expenditure. 684 LAWS OP PENNSYLVANIA, Section 47, which reads as follows: "For the pay- ment of the expenses incurred by the Senate election committee of the session of one thousand eight hun- dred and ninety-five, in the contested election case of Heller versus Laubach, in the Eighteenth Senatorial district, Northampton county, the sum of thirty-two thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be neces sary, to be paid on the warrant of the Auditor General drawn in favor of the chairman of the conunittee on elections of the Senate of the session of one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, upon vouchers properly certified and receipted and approved by the Auditor General and State Treasurer." The foregoing item is disapproved because the ap- propriation is made in gross for the various items of expenses included in the election contest It is the constitutional right of the Executive that appropria- tions of this character should contain the items mak ing up the entire amount in order that they may be separately considered and acted upon. I have no means of determining whether or not the sum appro priated is for such items as should be properly in cliOed, or that the respective amounts are correct. The cost of the contest is unusually large, and, before receiving Executive approval, it should be made clear that the appropriation should be made. DANIEL H. HASTINGS. No. 448.

This section appropriates twenty thousand dollars for the purpose of assisting in the erection and fur- nishing of a new hospital building in the borough of Punxsutawney, Jefferson county, and is disapproved for the sole reason that the condition of the finances of the State will not permit appropriations for the erection of new buildings. I am aware that an urgent necessity exists in this case, as well as in others, but work of this kind may better be postponed than to be obliged to disapprove appropriations for maintenance in tifie charitable institutions of the State, existing in whole or in part by State aid.
