the collection are four Tasmanian

LEGISLATURE HAS VERY
LITTLE WORK FOR TO-DAY,
THE LAST OF THE SESSION
House Cleans Up the
Senate Bills and Con-
siders Number of
Resolutions.

This morning the House will meet
sion that has been full of work, work
all cleaned up and disposed of. Little
remains to be done today, except kill
time with oratory until midnight ar
rives.
The House had little to do yesterday
and did that little with neatness and
despatch. The morning session saw
three bills in third reading passed, with
one read through on second reading
ready for final action today.
Affonso's Home Rule resolution was
tabled because of the fact that the
House has already gone on record on
this subject, favoring only the APP
pointment of local men to local offices
in the Federal positions.
Senate Bill SO, which exempts from
taxation any hospital that maintains
three free beds, passed third reading
Senate Bill $50, appropriating 5000
to pay the district magistrate at Kalau-
papa $25 a month for his salary, also
passed third reading.

The Home Rule resolution, on the or
der of the day for the second reading,
could not be found. Finally the Clerk
searched the wastepaper basket and
discovered it. 1t had blown off the
table the day before and been janitored
into the basket. There it had been
variously and plenteously spit on. This
was not the reason for tabling it, how
ever, the reason being stated by Alton
SO, the introducer, who asked for the
tabling because, he was convinced the
first House resolution had satisfactorily
covered the point.

QUINN REPORT
Mcclellan Demanded That a
Statement Therein BE
Stricken.

Supervisor Mcclellan took a firm
stand last night against the badgering
tactics of portion of the membership
of the board against Road Overseer
Paele of Koolaupoko district and de-
manded that a portion of a report
which censured Paele for disbursing all
the Koolaupoko appropriation before
the month was over, and which he as
serted is not borne out by facts, be
stricken out He stated, and was back
ed up by the Mayor and Supervisor
Kane, that the money is being spent
on the bugaboo Waiahole bridge re-
pairs, which were not only authorized,
but ordered by the board, and to be
done under the direction of Engineer

Supervisor Quinn, chairman of the
committee which made the report, in
defending his statement, said that it
ele SO much as to serve as warning
to all road overseers not to overpay
their appropriation. Mr.. Mcclellan in
timated that this sort of serving notice
on others was a poor way of preparing
a report and using one overseer as a
scapegoat. The Mayor stated that the
bridge had cost so far in materials,
supplies, engines, labor, etc, about
$500. Engineer Gere denied that the
Mayor was making a correct statement
and said it was much lower.

Knudsen's Views
In speaking of the results of the
legislative session of 1909, Chairman
Knudsen of the Judiciary Committee,
said yesterday.
tThe Judiciary Committee handled
fully seventy per cent. of the bills in
trNduced in the Senate and about eigh-
ty per cent. of the House bills that
came M for consideration.
None of the bills opposed by the
Judiciary Committee became law,
whereas all but two of the bills recon-
mendea by the committee passed the
Senate, and most of them reached the
Governor and became law.
GA great number of the bills intro
duced were of seeming unimportant
nature. but have been very necessary
in order to remove little Inconsistencies
in the present laws. in order to make
them more workable.
E'The legislation that | was most in
ferested in as chairman of the Judi
ciary Committee was that which turned
