TIE House o, Delegates on yesterday
voted down the resolution extending The
session of the present Legislature. Un'
der sll the circumstances this is probably
the wlse.t course, a. an extended session
would not prove satisfactory to the peo'
pie, and the way o. rushing legislation
through in the limited time would result
in good deal OF inefficient work. There
Are number of important bills, such As
relste to amending the school and road
laws, which will probably not be disPos
ed OF. But if 1t is important to pass
them, II would be better to have an sd-
journed session, when ample time could
be given to their consideration.
