But Little Real Business Disposed of
Yesterday.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TWO
HOUSES NOT RECoNCILED.
THE STATE REVENUE BILL
Roads and Bridges Bill Goes Through
With Practically No Debate

sidering the Appointments By the
GoVernor-Routine Business.

]
Although in session all day long yes
terday, the senate did not accomplish
much work, nor was it able to close III
the few matters still on hand. The ap
preparations bill was held up all da.
long in the house, and finally anothe
conference committee had to be ap
pointed to meet with the house mem
bers and make another effort to settl
the differences between the two houses
There was also an irreconcilable diff
ference of opinion on the ways ant
means or state revenue bill, the senat
having fixed the tax for state purpose:
at mills and the house having cut i
| down to AZ mills. On this rock tn,
two houses split, and conference com
mittee was appointed to endeaYor II
reach a compromise.
The roads and bridges bill was passed
with surprisingly little difficulty, an.
one or two other minor measures were
disposed of. The senate passed the en-,
tire evening in executive session con.
sidering the governors appointments.

w. G. Nebeker, Thomas and Shurtlif
as a conference committee to reconcile
the differences between the house anc
6.y

lutely no business in open session last
evening. The entire session was con-
