One of the members of the Commit tee said yesterday that the Committee seemed to be inclined to report the bills adversely. not because the prin- ciple of the bills was not right, but rather because the method proposed to arrive at the requirements of the De- pertinent. and to secure to the State the revenue which ought by right to come to it was of such q character as to meet with strong objections The framers of tho bills will not have time to change their provisions to meet with the requirements of the Committee, and for this reason they may not be acted upon at this session.
