The confederation of the Executive Comnltseex
report waE resumed, and VIZ entirely adopted,
With the exceptions OF Sections 81 and 70.
These were Postponed bocAuSa Of N indtcs-
ton that they would c1osa more or les1

section prohibits the State Treasurer from acting

Was very extensively discussed. After the uaual
vuz1ety Of views had beeu expresset, the section
Has nnh1y adopted In very questionable form.
II the section Ii not 1eooundertd, the Governor
vii be restricted IN lii pardoning power only By
whatever regulations the Legislature may adopt
