sion for board of visitors.

the Governor and Council.

mi: and said the opposition to the bill, he be-
lieved, came from the lobbying" by the trus-
tees and other officials of that institution.

| any outside influences. The bill in its pres.
| ent form was senseless, and would bring
| about q conflict of authority between the new
board of visitors and present officers of the

| listing were repealed. He spoke of the diff

thought its officers should receive the sup

| ences, and spoke further in favor of recon-
hitting the bill.
