Mr.. Hinkle asked unanimous consent,
saying that he did not think there was
objection; but about half dozen |
promptly answered no.
Mr.. Hinkle moved to suspend the rules |
but subsequently withdrew that motion
and moved to make the bill special or
der for Saturday morning after the
reading of the journal.
The speaker ruled that it required two
thirds to make one special order precede
former one.
The speaker explained that it required
two-thirds to make the bill special or
der for Saturday at 10 o'clock.
The speaker remarked that the order
was made by an appeal from the decision
of the chair, which was sustained.
The question was again put and it
failed to receive two-thirds and was
lost.
Mr.. Meyers moved that II. B. No. 1872,
relating to acequias, be made special
