The session OF the senate was. opened
late because OF the party caucuses which
were held previous TO the opening.
AS he had threatened to do in yes
terdays session, Senator Banigan
SPARED for wind" doubling the vote on
a majority OF the questions which came
up for consideration.
This course. however, proved ineffective
as wherever a rising vote was taken the
result showed that strict party lines had
been adhered to.
The senate was called TO order by his
excenency. the governor, at II :a o'clock.
The roll OF the senate was called by
the reading of Secretary David J. White.
who announced that there was a quorum
present
The Journal OF Wednesdays session
was read and approved
A message from the house was then an
nounced by Reading Clerk Murray. He
communicated from the house an act In
amendment OF chapter sol OF the public
laws entitled an act to incorporate the
town OF Narragansett.
Senator Robinson moved that the mat
ter be passed I'm concurrence without
reference. and II was 80 voted.
Also an act authorizing the town of
Westerly to postpone the payment OF
taxes and TO issue bonds. Passed In
concurrence.
Also an act relative to adjournment on
which no action was taken at that time.
THE POLICE COMMISSION.
Snator Thurston moved that the nomi-
nation OF Samuel II. Bullock. TO be n
member OF the board OF police commits
sioners be taken from the table
Mr.. Banigan said he hoped the matter
would be taken from the table without
n vote. as II was laid over by statute for
one day and could be taken up for con-
alteration at any time during the day at
the discretion OF the chair. He made
this a point OF order and the chair ruled
that the point was well taken.
This tarted an argument at once.
Senator Anthony OF East Providence
took an appeal from the ruling and
Judge Stiness seconded the appeal
A discussion ensued. Judge Stlness con-
tended that inasmuch as the matter had
been laid over until today without the
specification OF any time at which Il
should be taken up a motion was neces-
sary in order to bring IL before the senate
Mr.. Banigan took exceptions 10 this
view. In the controversy IN regard to the
parliamentary status OF the matter Sena-
tor Stiness seemed to have the best OF
the argument
