MT. Jones that if the committee were in doubt about the sentiment, and would allow him forty eight hours time he would have a petition here containing two- thirds of the property owners and taxpayers of the city of Newport, certified by the clerk, ask ing for the passage of this bill. To this proposition the committee was silent. He then twice made the pro- posal to the prohibition lawyers, but they flatly refused to accept it, and begged the committee to do all in it's power for the defeat of the bill in eor- der that they might win restraining suit now pending, by the use of pe- titioners living miles from our town. Then what did the committee do? Why, gentlemen, having evil dence that majority of the people want this bill, in order to secure it's defeat they have adopted the most unfair method known t. our parlia mentary laws, giving as their reasons that the thirty days notice that is re- quired by the constitution was not served prior to the intro q lction of this bill
 1T know, MT. Speaker, that the con 5titution says that thirty days notice is required before the introduction of local oill, but the supreme court has decided in the 48 Ark, p. 371, Davies vs. Gaines, that if the general assem- bly, choose to disregard the require ment and to enact local or special law without notice, no issue upon the subject of notice can be raised in the court. The object of that provision was to put the interested community on notice. 1 beg to inform you that the interested community of Newport is very much on notice at the present time. To relieve your minds of any doubt, I hold here petition contain ing an overwhelming majority of the property owners of Newport, asking the passage of this law.
