| desk of the House, about eighty Senate bills
4 4 r.fN taaf k.nuNn
! dred and forty House bills, only about thlr-
/ ty have been finally passed upon, and
/ WHEREAS, The additional expense OF a
session long enough to transact all business
required of the Legislature for the welfare
of its constituency will be insignificant, the
principal part OF the expense of the session
being the annual salary of memb rs which
will be drawn in iull as we'll for q session of
twenty or thirty days; therefore
