over one Cay at their last meeting,
they made an excellent record for work
on Tuesday they had three sessions,
and during that time they disposed of
a numer of bills on second and third
reading and several others on a final
/ passage. There win be about 20 bills
ready for final passage ON Wednesday.

introduced creating a commission com

thorties, as well as those of Philadel-

of this sort, and that in the event of
commission being created, it would be
years before they would complete their
work.
