Report laid on the table to be con-
sidered with the bill.
Rep. Robertson presented the follow
ing report of the Judiciary Committee
on House bill No. 80, relating to foot
binding:
I'VE recommend that the bill pass
with the following amendment:
Sec. Lines 4 and 5. Strike out

1.-The above does not include the sal
aries paid to the prison lunas who
worked the men at their daily tasks,
as the salaries of such lunas were not
paid by the Police Department"
Minister Smith moved that House
bill No As, relating to quarantine reg
ulations, be taken up in third reading.
Rep. Robertson moved that the Tax
Bill be taken up. Since there was to
be no extension of time given to the
Legislature he would rather see the
Tax Bill disposed of than the one re-
lating TO quarantine regulations.
House bill No. As taken up in third
reading and passed unanimously.
House bills Nos. A and 43 taken up
in third reading and passed unani-
mouSly.
In Sec of House bill No. 43, relat-
ing to larceny and gross cheat, the
Representatives and the Ministers got
into a little trouble about whether
and" should be out or vice versa or
whether a comma, period, dash or ex-
clamation point should be after, before
or on both sides of the word chosen as
most suitable One of the members
suggested under the breath that the
Ministers take heads and the Repre-
sentatives take what remained-tails.
The matter was adjusted and the bill
passed with everyone rested.
House bill No. II, relating to land
deleterious to pubic health, taken up
for consideration in second reading,
section by section.
The discussion bore upon Section
8, Ministers Smith, Cooper and Rep.
Richards contending that the powers
given to the Board of Health in that
section, were no more than those given
other bodies of the land in other coun-
tries. Eliminating the section would
practically kill the bill.
Rep. Robertson and others contended
that the section gave too much power
to the Board of Health.
At 1915 House adjourned until 1:30
p. m.
