Haggard gas bill Saturday forenoon. The

20 kill the bill. Representative Suchanek
also spoke in favor of the motion. The

not believe the lobby fsvoring the bill
cared anything for the consumer. Repre-

Representative Hageard. who fathered the
measure by request, supported II. He
wanted action on the matter postponed
until o'clock Monday, but motion to
that effect was voted down. Representa-

interest of the bill wanted to be
fair. Representative McMRhan was
opposed TO the bill. He believed the
dangers in ii were hard TO find, but that
they lurksd somewhere between the lines.

bill vas referred 10 q special committee,
composed OF Representatives Farlow, Err
