end last Thursday night at Ba-
ton Rouge. Six hundred and
twenty bills were introduced
and three hundred and seven
teen became Law, exactly the
same number as We're enacted at
the session of 1908 by the same

hundred and twenty one up to
the Governor for his signature.
but he vetoed four of them.
The free bridge bill remained on
the calendar in the House where
it died a natural death. MIR.
Roterts finding that large mum
Der of the friends of the bill were
absent refused to have it call
ed from the calendar, for while
he ha1Is the assurance that be
would get a majority Of the vote
present, there were not suffici
ent, present to make it a law.
Had the full house been present
at any one time it would have
been easy sailing for We had a
good clean majority OF the repre-,
SentativeS.
Lieutenant Governor Lam bre-
mont was presented with a gold
watch by the the members of the
senate and a fob by the pages of
