this matter could be taken of the
table and referred back to the com.
mittee, 90 II was not in the Houses
province to 90 direct. He said fur
Their that he resigned his place on
the committee.
On Harris resignation, the Chair
ruled adversely, as he did not nomi-
nate another to act in his place ac-
cordinR to the rules.

Reassembled pursuant to order,
and the first business was on the
joint conference report ON the Emer-
Rency Bill. Keliinoi again called
attention to the fact that the Sem
ate had referred the report back to
the same committee, 80 he was in
formed by Senator, and he there
fore moved to refer the House re-
port back to the committee.

of the Sena!e's action in the matter
and Keliinoi answered q Senator

he said the House should be careful
and must act wis ly, for VS. may be
treading upon dangerous grounds.

this matter after being tabled!
Long also wanted to know what
is being intended now, and they
