a resolution appropriating $500 for com

DIR. Garvin was read by the clerk, section
by section. There was no amend
ment suggested to Section 13, while in
Sections IA and Is, DR.. Garvin's sense of
rhetorical fitness suggested sundry
verbal changes which were
adopted. The bill was then put upon its
passage, and Democrats and Republi-
cans alike voted for its pas
sage, for silence signifies assent.
The conspicuous Representative of the
minority offered no objection, and it is
suspected that the Senate may be equally
agreeable.

rules be suspended and the
Factory Inspector bill be com
municated TO the Senate.
No objection was raised and consequently
the Joint benefits of the enactment of the
bill are equally distributed.
