THE SENATE.

| THE Senators We're invited by the
| President of the Board of HEALTH to
visit the insane asylum yesterdaY-to
look at some uninvented machines, per
haps-and rejected the committee re-
port that was intended to Kill the
Dickey anti-spitting bill. Instead of
being laid on the table, the Dickey san
| itation measure was taken up, at the
| instance of its owner, and being read
section by section, passed second read
ing and will come up for its final pas
| sage on Friday.
The bill had been raised from the ia
BILE early in the days session, on mo-
ton of it's introducer, who said that
the Board of Health had touched upon
the subject in it's report, and put upon
| the order of the day. A little later the
Health Committee, through Kalama, re-
ported adversely on the bill, recon-
mending that it be laid on the table
permanently.
Dickey got the floor on the motion to
ADOPT the report, and made a strong
plea for his favorite measure. 1t was
a BILL he said, in the interest of sani-
tation. He was perfectly willing to
have that part of it relating to tuber-
cuIosis stricken out. The Board of
Health had taken the ground that that
part could not be enforced. And he
himself asked the committee to strike
out that. But in basing their entire re-
port upon that section, and trying TO
kill the bill altogether on account OF
that, he did not think the committee
had treated him quite fairly. There
should be a difference made between
splitting on sidewalks and in the streets
The distinction should be made, not
only in the interest of public health,
but of common cleanliness. He would,
therefore, move that the bill be taken
up. section by section, and this carried,
the report of the committee being
thrown out
