sages mis- object being TO reach S. B. 1874, to pro-
vide permanent site for the Home for the
Care and Training of Feeble-Minded Children.
Crandall objected to taking up the message
and wanted committee Il conference on the
bill He said that the senate had no legal in
formation that the bill had been amended in

The Chair suggested that the only way to find

but he had never been party TO them.

all of the senators asked the assistance of the
Others in the passage oftheir bills, and it was
perfectly proper that they should do so Even
the -enator from Colusa had asked the assist
