THE PROCEEDINGS.
BILLS PASSED ON RESOLUTIONS OF
URGENCY.
The MADEIRA County Bill Passed by the
Senate-The Doctors Bill is
Reconsidered.

Reconsidered.
The Senate convened at 10 A. NJ, Lieu
tenant-Governor Reddick in the chair.
Roll-call, prayer and reading of the
| journal as usual.
Senator Burke moved for a recon
sideration of the vote by which the
bill providing for Board of Medical
Examiners was passed. He believed
that many Senators had voted fol
the bill believing that it had been
been amended as originally presented-tc
provide that the board should be COM
posed of members representative of the
three principal schools, allopathic, home
opathic and eclectic-but it was not SO
and the bill left it in the power of the
Governor to place the practice of medi-
cine entirely in the hands of one school
as the board would be made to consist o.
only members of that particular school
and they might issue certificates only tC
those OF their own ilk.
Senator Simpson upheld the bill as il
stood, believing that any reputable ply
stefan would act fairly with all the
schools, and it would be impracticable
to have a board composed of practitioners
in the different schools.
Senator Earl opposed the bill in its
present form on the same grounds as did
Burke.
Senator Martin was willing to trust the
whole matter to the Governors discretion
and fairness.
Senator Seawell thought it would be
we'll to let the Act stand as it had been
passed and let the Governor exercise the
authority conferred by it for two years,
and if it did not work satisfactorily il
could then be repealed.
Senator Seymour thought it unfair to
place the whole responsibility on the
| Governor. If we must have law of the
kind let it be a fair and a square one.
The motion to reconsider was carried
by vote Of "a to -. The bill was then
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
