Among the resolutions presented by
Mr.. Greenman of Boulder was one
calling on the state board OF equaliz-
alton to execute the law against
county assessors who refuse to make
proper assessments.
Among the bills presented to the
senate was that OF Senator McCue
for railway commission, being the
same bill that failed of adoption dur
ing the last moments of the regular
session. 1t created some stir then, as
members from the sections where
fruit is grown declared that 1t gave
the shippers there no promise of pro-
lection. Most of the fruits being of
a most perishable nature, they must
be marketed at the right time. II
cars are not at hand at the psycholo.
gical moment, the shipments are like
ly to be greatly damaged.
