think the work Of the Legislature would be |
retarded by adjourning until four z. NJ.
any more than if it were 10 10 A. NJ. for
the reason that session would be held 10 |
any case and as much business done in the !

Ss wss doubtless well known, the first |
8ve or six weeks OF the session were not |
filed with such an amount of work a. later |
in the session, when two sessions day are |
often found necessary to dispose of it. |
Some latitude is usual and if there is an |
adjournment over Sunday, it should be |
late enough to allow members to get back |
