WHEREAS. The session of this Leg
islature IS fast drawing to close, and
from the large amount of business now
on hand it appears impossible to
give each bill the consideration which
prudence requires and whereas the
much needed legislation with regard to
the rights and obligations of railroad
companies seems by want of time
liable to be left undone therefore be it
Resolued, BY the Assembly, the Sem
ate concurring, that the Governor be
reqnest.d 10 call an extra session i'm
mediately after the adjournment here
of, and that he be requested to express
his determination to call such session,
and upon such information being
officially presented to both houses the
further consideration of all matters
pertaining to railroads aud the incor-
pOration thereof shall be postponed
until such extra session. at which ses-
sion the subject of railroads and the
regulation of fares and freights and
the incorporation of railroad COM
panies shall alone be considered.
