N terms having passed both houses
without becoming a law. The ladies
who have been SO warmly advocating
the suffrage measure will be nervous
until the final stage is passed in one
house CT the other, and they were
alarmed yesterday by the persistent
rumor that Governor Brodie would
veto the bill if it reached him.
Both houses disposed of numerous
bills yesterday, and have the calendar
so nearly cleared that important meas
ures to be disposed of during the clos
ing days of the session will run counter
to few of the ordinary impediments
which usually characterize the last
strenuous hours of a legislative session.
The flood of bills disposed of were
mainly inconsequential measures, al
though some of them were Of more than
passing Importance.
In the council yesterday afternoon
Burson's revenue bill passed without
opposition. kibbey's bill. allowing cities
of more than 5000 population certain
boulevard privileges, also was placed on
final passage. Among other bills passed
was council bill No. 81, relating to tax
exemption. and Kibbey's bill authoriz-
ing supervisors to lay off road districts.

incorporation of churches developed no
opposition and was placed on final pass
age, and the house bill for the encour-
