ably In the Senate with substitute. The
original bill did not make provision
for alterations to the present State
House, and the sustitute changes the
rate of interest on the bonds from I
to per cent
Several House bills were passed by
the House, including those increasing
the road appropriations to Camden and
Wyoming, repeating the hundred
boards OF revision of assessment, pro-
viding for manual training in the
graded schools and several others of
minor Importance.
Among the House bills reported un-
favorably by the House was that allow
ing soldiers and sailors to engage in the
business Of peddlers without license;
compelling railroads to pay the cost
" imprisoning trespassers and giving
additional help to the receiver of taxes
in New Castle county.
If bills We're introduced for all the no
tees given yesterday there probably
would have to be a perpetual Legislature,
for it would take years at the present
pace OF the Assembly TO consider all Of
them. They cover every subject imagin-
able. and most of them are in the form Of
a precaution rather than being the fore
runner Of bills drawn or being drawn. A
surprising number Of the bills are aimed
at the liquor business. Possibly the most
surprising bill is that given notice OF by
Representative Donoho, of Seaford, a
member Of wet sentiment who is in
favor Of resubmission for Sussex county
where several members decline to sign a
resubmission petition. Mr.. Donoho gave
notice Of a bill to prohibit any person or
persons having In his, her o. their pos
session any liquor of any kind in Kent or
Sussex county for other than medicinal or
sacramental purposes. lie says that while
he is really not in favor of such a drastic
law he will present and press his bill to
put the members on record.
