CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
721

Resolved, That the Secretary, forthwith on the adjournment of the Convention, make a full inventory of the furniture and other property on hand which was purchased by the city of Denver for the use of the Convention, and deliver one copy thereof to the city clerk of the city of Denver and one copy thereof to the Sergeant-at-Arms; and that the Sergeant-at-Arms, immediately after the completion of the inventory, take charge of such property. and, as soon as possible, mm the same over to the proper authorities of the city of Denver.

Mr. Wells offered the following resolution, which, on his own motion, was adopted:

Resolved, That the Secretary make a complete inventory of the stationery and other property remaining on hand pertaining to this Convention and deliver one copy of said inventory to the Treasurer of the Territory and the other to the Sergeant-at-Arms; that the Sergeant-at-Arms be instructed to sell and dispose of said property at the best price which can be obtained, and turn over the proceeds, with accounts of sales, to the Treasurer of the Territory.

On motion of Mr. Felton, the Sergeant-at-Arms was allowed four days' extra pay for his trouble in carrying out the instructions contained in the two last resolutions.

Mr. Cooper moved that the Secretary be allowed two days' extra pay as compensation for carrying out the instructions contained in the two last resolutions, which was not agreed to.

So the Convention refused to concur in the motion of Mr. Cooper.

On motion of Mr. Yount, a bill of $800, presented by the proprietors of the Denver Tribune for printing certificates, was allowed and a certificate for the amount ordered to be issued for the amount.

The business of the Convention being disposed of, the President addressed the Convention.

Prayer was offered by the Reverend Mr. Sturtevant.

The Journal of this day was then approved, and the President declared the Convention adjourned without day.

So the Convention adjourned at 4:15 p. m.

W. W. COULSON,
Secretary.
