der for 3 o'clock. On motion the sub
stitute bill was accepted by a vote of
S. to A. Several amendments were
then added to the bill. The portion of
the bill providing that the names of the

ion of the house that there was nothing
to be gained by the arrangement and
that it would only make the printing of
the tickets more difficult. : 5I, b, Il
