I
last night at IL O'Clock midnight. the
legal term OF the session having ea.
pired. tf|
The closing hours of each house
were marked by less riotous scenes
than usual. The seats on the floor OF
both houses were occupied by the cur
ious, who had c6me TO see a legisla-
ture break, up. They listened to a
number OF congratulatory and concilia-
tory speeches. the healing OF breaches
made in the heated debates. done with
less disorder than is customary.
The Legislature broke several rec
crds. most OF which were in astonish.
ing directions. For many years the
closing hour of each recurring assem-
bly, has been used in making a com
promise on the general appropriation
bill. which has been held up by some
coterie pushing bad bills through. This
year the appropriation bill went TO the
governor two days before the session
closed and was signed before adjourn
ment-
II the Fifteenth General Assembly
the business OF both houses had been
practically completed at 5 o'clock on
the afternoon OF the last day. leaving
all the time TO midnight for a general
visiting period among members. There
was no need OF turning back the clock.
no threats OF forcing an extra session
In order TO get members TO vote for
measures they feared.
Another record broken was that no
| session at all OF the House and only
brief session OF the Senate was held
on the Sunday proceeding the last day.
At that time the members felt that
business had been SO far advanced that
a Sunday session was unnecessary.
Among the bills of general npplica-
lion that failed to pass are the rail-
way commission bill. the bank exam.
incr bill. the building and loan associa.
ton bills. the civil service bill. the To-
cal option bills. the bill for the con
Struction OF state highways by convict
labor and Il number of other measures
desired by many citizens.
