Ines they desired amended there being
two or three copies of the bill In use

Afternoon Session.
h When the Senate was again called TO
order at s:S0. MIR. Anderson sought to
posing that senators write their atnend-
mcnls and send them 10 the clerks desk.
and that said amendments be taken UP
and acted on In tho order In which they
are offered He said that the Senate
had devoted two days TO the bill and had
hardly completed one-thlrd Of 1t.
Mr.. Oplc moved to pass by until IL $50
to-day, but subsequently Withdrew this.
The Senate then proceeded to the reading
OF the bill for amendment.
II was $3.50 o'clock before the reading OF
amendments and action on them was con-
cluded. There are twenty-scven In all.
tic most Important being as stated, that
in relation to appointment Of road super
{intendents. The bill was 80 modified as
not to conflict with the special roads
laws In operation in certain counties, but
IS applicable TO them in all points not
provided for In those special laws. II
general the anlendf nents a greed to by the
Senate are in accord with the views Of
Major Edmond the patron OF tho Dill.
The bill as amended was then nut on It's
passage and passed by practically imam
imo,s vote. 1t will be communicated to
the House at once for concurrence In tho
Senate amendments thereto. The fate OF
the hill Is still doubtful. for there may
not be time to take the bill up In ths
House. The measure failed last session
after passing both houses. because the
con fcrees could not agree on atYote N
the closing hours OF the session
