THE GOVERNORS VETO.
The message OF the Governor criti-
cizing the drafting of an amended
coroner's law and vetoing the same
was reread for consideration.
Rawlins explained that the bill was
amended in the House after being re-
ported on by the Police committee and
was further tinkered at by the Senate
II the Senate spoiled 1t he would like
to know 1t and asked for the Senate
report.
Correa said that the law was one
which ought to stand on the statute
book. The present bill, however, had
been mangled by the Judiciary COM
mittee of the Senate, who had amend
ed the body of the bill and left the
heading unchanged. making the bill
faulty. In concurring with the Senate
amendment the bill was not read in
full in the House. The veto OF the
Governor was proper and should be
sustained, but a similar bill should be
again sent UP for signature without
the disqualirying features.
The veto was sustained by a unan-
imous vote.

lar measure. remedied as desired by
