/ The legislature got fairly under way
/ in its work last week, but things are moi
really humming yet, Members are busy
| considering measures, sounding Other
members as 10 their probable reception
and some bills are ia process of framing
/ Ii always takes time 10 start the machine,
( but this year IL starts fully as early as
usual. The new system OF introducing
| bills seems likely 10 justify itself Ia
practice. So Tar there has been no delay
I IN the revision committee, which has
/ been able 10 get bills before the houses
promptly, and in better shape than the
+ somewhat crude manner that some OF the
i measures would otherwise appear.
| The work OF last week can be thus
summed up;-Senate committees and
JOINT standing committees OF both houses
were named; a total Of is bills were in
troduoed in the House and eight in the
Senate; few measures OF minor impor-
tsnce were passed by the House, a few
others ordered 10 third reading and one
was killed the Senate advanced one bill
TO third reading; the governor approved
II, /, the so-called Rendering company
bill; the committees began the eonsidera-
ton Of their bills, and some routine work
was done Of no general interest. The
sessions each day were short, and largely
Of the quaker meeting kind.
