The indefinite postponement of house
bill No. ITO, providing that the number
of Superior Judges be reduced from
twenty-one to twelve, was recommended
and the committees action sustained by
the House.
The Printing committee decided
that the House did not know what it
meant when it decided to have the re-
ports and briefs in the Rader-Seymour
contest case printed. The committee
told the House that it would cost $50
to do the printing. The House de-
cided to save the $50, and, to do so, it
gave the attorneys an hour to discuss
the merits of the case. An hours
time is worth 1890.
House Bill No. ia providing that

tratrix or executrix was narrowly
saved from defeat. A majority OF the
Judiciary committee had reported in
favor of the bills indefinite postpone
ment and minority in favor of the

by Il narrow margin.
