The report of the special committee to
| bills being heard by the committee caused
! prolonged discussion. The compromise
| agreed upon by the committee was that the
| author Of a bill should notify the chairman
| of the committee that he desired to be heard
and that the chairman should then fix a
| time TO hear him. Mr.. James, after many
| members had spoken on it, offered an
amendment that the author of a bill should
! be notined IN case of an unfavOrable report
| on q bill, but it was promptly voted down
| and the original compromise agreed to- A
| resolution which did not cause discussion
| was one TO the effect that as the ventilation
| of the House is bad and has been condemned
| by the State Board of Health, a committee
| should at once consult with an architect and
| ton which will correct the defects at once.
| The resolution was unanimously adopted,
and the members applauded their own ac-
| ton.
