THE WORK OF CONGRESS-.
Proportion of Private Bills to Public
Much Smaller Than Usual

The percentage of bills introduced in Con
gress that reached the last stage of legisla
tion-the approval or disapproval of the
Executive-is very small. Up to recent date
including this session and last, Ii, $50 bills
and 275 joint resolutions have been intro
duced in the House. Of this number IL, 2Qe
were put in last session. Of these 1915 have
been considered by committees and reported
to the House. Three thousand two hundred
and forty-three were reported last session
and 272 this session.
OF the II, 200 bills introduced last session
only 1895 became laws. Of this number 364
were bills of public interest, the others pri
vate pension bills, claims, etc. During this
session the total number OF bills which have
passed and received e signature of the
President is sixty five Of these thirty three
were public bills and thirty-two private.
This is very unusual proportion, as ordin
arily the number of private bills passed is
four or five times greater than the public
bills. The indications now are that the
record Of the Fifty-frst Congress when final
ly made up will show that the number OF
bills introduced has been greater than in any
other Congress, and the number passed will
be smaller than in several other Congresses
