The council developed a passion for
regular order for bills and as fast as

cant fo ,,noIa raporf f,op, tho oo,,,
mittee on banks and banking, but Mr..

The council concurred in the house
amendments to the council bill to
harmonic existing school laws.
House bill No. 179, an act relating
TO bawdy houses, was handed down
and Mr.. Spiess moved to table the bill.
The motion was lost Those who vot-
ed against it We're Messrs. Albright,
Andrews, Duncan, Hughes, Jaramillo,
Martinez and President Chaves.
Substitute for house bill No. 159, the
irrigation commission bill, was handed
down. Mr.. Andrews demanded the
regular order. Mr. Fall moved to go
into a committee of the whole to con-
slider the bill and cited rule 5S in sup
port of his motion, claiming that 1t
provided the council should go into a
committee of the whole at any time 1t
was ordered by a majority. President
Chaves ruled against him. Mr.. Fall
contended that his construction of the
rule was correct Mr.. Andrews held
that the council could not go into a
committee of the whole on the first
reading of bill. President Chaves
sustained this point and asked that an
appeal be taken as he was somewhat
in doubt Fall said he would decline
TO appeal from the decision as Presi-
dent Chaves was recognized as an able
parliamentarian and he would defer to
the ruling of the chair President
Chaves 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
therefore took the regular order.
House bill No. 212, an act relating to
the pay of interpreters for territorial
grand juries, and house bill No. 1856.
an act to create a board of control for
territorial educational institutions.
