Considerable Work Cut Out for
the Next Few Days of
s the Session.
KumaIae Brings in Old Flag Billboard of
Health Investigation Discussed--Many
Appropriations Asked.

Bile on second reading, with the con-
tinuation of the flood of petitions and
resolutions. occupiel the attention Of
the House and Senate yesterday, and
through IT all ran the spirit Of waiting
for the County bill. This measure has
at length been translated, and is still
in the hands of the printer.
The translators were much behind in
their work, close corporation having
been formed so that the last copy Of
the measure was only given to the
printer within four days. and conse-
quentIy there will be material delay.
This delay may cause a rupture be-
tween the Senate and the House, for
the printing being left in the hands of,
Llhe latter. the upper body is now.
compelled 10 wait. and take time that
should be devoted to that measure for
preliminaries which might be simply
morning business, II the one bill which
is to have right OF way in both bodies
was before them. One member of the
upper body said yesterday that he
would move that the Senate proceed
and have it's measure printed separo te-
ly II the Dill was not Forthcoming very
soon.
The House placed in the hands of it's
Committee on Public Health and Edu-
cation the investigation OF the charges
against the Board of Health, relieving
the House from the necessity OF sitting
for the purpose OF hearing the matter,
thus saving time that Is badly needed
in the general business Of the session.
The Senate is hard at work getting
its measures TO the stage OF final ae-
tion. so that there will be no delay
charEeabIe against the upper ho1se
when the time approaches for the ad- )
journment Of the session. License mat
ters were given most attention in the
Senate. a second gas franchise being Ie-
quested.
During the afternoon Speaker Beck

for a shorter time. President Crabbe OF
the Senate. introducing them to the
House with few words at the close
Of the day.
