Mr. Long moved to amend the fist sec
tion by making the fine $l,OOO inatead bf
$5OO.
Mr. Morgan thought that amount too
severe; and calculated to :destroy the
effect ofthe measure. '
Mr. Edwards believed in - making the
law as stringent as possible, that dishon
est parties might be deterred &Om en
gaging in(the business of oil adulteration.
After some further discussion the
amendment was adopted.
Mr. Morgan moved to amend section
iir,t so as to authorize the appointment
of one Inspector from each district. Lost.
The section, as amended, in regard to
the fine, was then adopted.
Sections Fleeond and third were adopted
without debate.
The President suggested that antaddi
tional section be made, requiring all
dealers in oil to pay ten dollars for a
government license, the moneyl thus
realized to be appropriated to the pay
went of the Inspectors.
-
The suggestion was put in the form of
a motioh by a member and agreed to.
Mr. King moved the adoption of an
other section requiring all oil less than
one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit,
to be (branded as - “Naptha." Carried.
The bill was then referred back to the.
Committee, with instructions to report
