irrigation commission bill, was handed
down. Mr.. Andrews demanded the

into a committee of the whole to con-
slider the bill and cited rule So in sup
port of his motion, claiming that II
provided the Council should go into a
committee of the whole at any time 1t
was ordered by majority. President
Chayes ruled against him. MI. Fall
contended that his construction of the
rule was correct. Mr.. Andrews held
that the Council could not go into
committee of the whole on the first
reading of a bill. President Chaves
sustained this point and asked that an
appeal be taken as he was somewhat IN
doubt. Mr.. Fall said ne would decline
to appeal from the decision as Presl-
dent Chayes was recognized as an able
parliamentarian and he would defer to
the ruling of the chair. President
Chayes expressed his regrets that Mr..
Fall would not appeal and thanked
him for the courtesy to the chair. Mr.
Andrews said the question could not
be opened again as the president had
ruled on the point raised. The bill
