STATE LEGISLATURE. |
THE BILL TO PAY Il. +. TOWN.
SENDAND OTHERS $4,000
PASSES THE HOUSE.

Special Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,.
DOVER, Del, March 1st, 1888.
In the Senate this morning the House
bill regulating the sale of oleomargarine
and other artificial butter, was taken
up for consideration and vas objected
to by Drs. Mustard and Chandler, for
the leason that there was already a law
on the statutes governing the sale Of
this article which they deemed suffi-
cient to meet the case and saw no neces
sity of passing another bill.
The new bill differs but little with
the original act, with the exception Of a
section which requires the State Chemist
to make an analysis of all such butter
submitted to him, without cost to the
person OF persons sending the same.
This won d probably give the State
Chemist 'arge amount of extra work
| for which he would receive no re-
muneration, and hence the opposition to
the new bill. In view of these facts the
bill was tabled and will in all prOba-
bility die, as it should, a natural
DEATH
The bill extending the time for IT,
cording private acts was also laid on
the table, in order that law passed
two years ago could be examined, which
it is thought covers the samegrounds az
the bill now pending. If such is the
case there will he no necessity of pass
ing a similar bill. The members of the
Senate work very cautiously in all
matters Ofthis kind, and where use
less bill is introduced they oppose it,
which action is commendable, and
shows that they, at least, do not hur-
riedly pass over anything which would
cause them to regret at any time.
The bill to pay B. F. Townsend and
others $1s,O 900 for the construction of
Third street bridge passed the House
this morning, with only three members
voting against it, viz Messrs. Barlow,
Comegys and Watson. There is but lit
tie doubt now of its passage in the Sen
ate and of its becoming a law. The
Levy Court of New Castle County
has opposed the bill all along, but their
opposition evidently had no weight
with the members of the House, judg-.
ing from the manner in which it passed.
