port of Secretary Hart on file in the
hands of the board of corrections and
charities which for some reason was not
printed in their annual report. The re-
bort was alleged to contain certain facts
as to extravaganza in the management
of the school for detectives, and ought
to be given to the house. The purport
of the resolution was to secure the re-
port and have it printed. Mr.. Young
moved as substitute that a committee
of three be appointed to examine the re-
port and find out what it contained, and
If it was deemed important enough the
house could order it printed after they
should report. This motion was carried
by small vote, and Messrs. Young,
Fleming and Hudson Wilson were ap-
pointed as such committee.
Some time ago a resolution was passed
asking the judiciary committee to con-
strue the law in regard to the time when
the legislative session shall end. The
matter was referred to Mr.. Hay and he
has sent in his report. The conclusion
he reaches is that the ninety Legislative
days in the law mean ninety days on
which the legislature could sit, which
carries the session to April "a, which in
cludes ninety legislative days, fifteen
Sundays and one holiday. The twenty
day limitation on the introduction of
bills is taken to mean twenty days OF the
ninety days, and, if the legislature
should by joint resolution adjourn before
the expiration of that time. only that
much of the twenty days as had at that
time expired would be meant. This con-
struction. undoubtedly the correct one,
makes it impossible to introduce bills
save on the recommendation of the gov
ernor after March 30, the next day being
Sunday. The report will be printed in
the journal.
