biennial message before the Joint SEES
sion of the Senat and House in the
Hall of the House. There was some
opposition to the resolution on the
alleged rounds that its reading by
the Governor was unconstitutional in
that the constitution specifics that il
shall be transmitted. Most of the Re
publicans and a few Democrats voted
against it. The upper body declined
to pass another resolution stating tina
the Senate in acquiescing in the Gov
crnOrS request for permission to read
his message was not to be und erStooG
as establishing a precedent, as it was
the sense of the Senat that it would
be advisable to adhere to the custom
of having the Governor submit his
message in writing.
