phenomenal growth OF Newport News Roa-
noke and other localities which naturally
called for the enactment of additional laws.
lie took the ground that biennial sessions
limited 20 ninety DAYS each were entirely in
adequate and that under the existing cOndi-
uon of affairs very often the representatives
OF the people showed great anxiety 10 pass
some measures merely adapted 20 their rs-
spectye localities. and showed comparatively
little interest IN the enactment of laws OF a
more general character
