After two of the most strenuous
sessions OF the General assemhly, Mr.
Roosevelt Page. of Hanover, member OF

passed at the evening session of the
House Tuesday s----
This bill Is probably the most wide
IL advertised bill of the session. 1t
provides for the manufacture of raw
lime by convict labor and carries wit II
1t an appropriation of $4,000. This
bill when introduced was referred to
the Finance Committee which body re-
fused to take any action whatever.
Several hearings were held and a
score of lime manufactures appeared
to state that Ii would be impossible
for the State at this time to go into
the manufacturing business In oppost-
ton TO the Lime trust. Col Bowman.
chairman of the Finance Committee,
was also OF the opinion that this
would be an unwise move and ven
tured the opinion that IL the State
was to engage in manufacturing 1t
should frst commence to manufacture
building material which Is greater
necessity to the poor farmer" than
lime.
with all these arguments hurled
against him Mr.. Page insisted on some
action being taken on his measure and
after an unsuccessful attempt during
the morning session Tuesday to have
his bill called up he succeeded in the
evening session and by vote of SO
to is the bill was passed Several
members argued strongly against the
measure but to no avail.
