Hon of the Committee
 The Rresident-The Chair would cab the attention of the Chairman of the Rules Committee to the fact that there seems to be typographical error in This section of the report of the Com mittee in report back this resolution for the action of the "Committee" ] presume 1t was meant to the 'Conven- tion."

 MT. Hefljr-I make the point of or der that the Committee on Rules re- ported this back to the Convention for the action of the Convention.
 MT. Brooks-The question is. will the House accept that or refer it back to the Committee.
 The President-That was the ques- ton the Chair stated to the Convention and the Convention accepted the re- port and the question now is what will the Convention do with this resolution MT Vaughan-I move the adoption of the resolution.

 MT. Smith-I move that the Conven- lion concur in the report If the Com rnittee just read.
 MT. Watts--I rise to question of Inquiry. Does that mean that two or three subdivisions cannot be included in one paper?
 MT. smith-The ,substitute does not undertake to bind a member or prevent Min, from offering what he pleases, but ia a mere matter of recommendation, that it is the opinion of he Committee that the subject matter of an ordi- nance should be expressed clearly in ,ts tirle and the ordinance slould re- late to only one subject
 MT Watts-Rut the question of in- o,,irv is. does that mean that you can- not in the same ordinance, move to amend three or four different sections or does it mean that rach ordinance s,,uch refer to only one section?
