JOINT MEMORIAL

To the Senate and House of Representatives, in Congress assembled:

Your memorialists, the Council and House of Representatives of Colorado Territory, would most respectfully represent that owing to the rapidly increasing population of our Territory, the prison accommodations at Cañon City, furnished by the General Government, are inadequate, and additional buildings are necessary to accommodate the commitments thereto. We therefore most respectfully ask for the speedy construction of the said Penitentiary buildings at Cañon City, in accordance with the original plan as filed with the Department of the Interior at Washington City. Approved January 26th, 1872.

HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION.

Resolved, by the House, the Council concurring:

That the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of the Council, the Chief Clerk of the House and his assistant, shall each be allowed the per diem now allowed by the Territory, for the two days next ensuing the adjournment of the Legislative Assembly, in order to write up and complete the Journals of the two Houses. And the Territorial Auditor is hereby authorized to draw a warrant on the Territorial Treasurer for a sufficient sum to pay for said service, and the same shall be paid by said Treasurer out of the Legislative Fund.

Approved February 9th, 1872.
