The COMMITTEE on Rules reported
and their report was adopted after con-
siderable discussion. The rules of this
session will be the same as those of
the session of 1905 with a few amend
ments. In former sessions it has peen
the custom for the Interpreter to be re-
sponsible for the written TRANSACTIONS
of bills when they go to the printer.
This year a committee will have charge
of this. The Committee on Public
Lands, Internal improvements and
Reference will all be one COMMITTEES. as
it is thought that this will expedite
work The Committee on Public Elk
penditures and the one on Accounts
will be merged, as their work is SINH
lar The Committee on Forestry and
Promotion will combine with the Com
mtttee on Agriculture and Manufacture
as their lines of work are nearly alike
The Police Committee has been made
one with the Committee on Public
Health, as police matters are not of
much Importance since the advent Of
County Government.
