town, c. E. Mudgett of Valley City
and Eb Young of Cass County. The
first two nominations were confirmed.
The nomination of Young was referred

tons for consideration.
Senator Cox wanted to know where
house bill 1873, the railroad liability bill,
was. He said it had been reported and
not acted upon. He wanted to bring
it up right away and moved to suspend
the rules and put the bill in order for
third reading and final passage. The
senate refused to suspend the rules, and
the steering committees report was
taken as the order of business.

fire companies in the state receiving a
portion of the 2 per cent tax to be-
oosoo -,ar,ho~e &c <1,o c%,fo ,cco~;ofson

moved to postpone the bill indefinitely.
There were thirty-nine fire companies III

to postpone was lost and the bill was
passed.
