sioners to maintain lights on Piney
Branch road from Georgia avenue to
Butternut street. And it has been deter
mined efforts are to be made to have
the bill re-enacted during the present

The bill was passed by the House June
Il last, but the Senate did not give its
approval until within a few days of the
final adjournment Of the session. II was
sent TO the President just a couple Of
days before the end, but il failed to re-
ceive his signature
The measure contains only four lines
thirty-three words to be exact. II was
small. IL has been suggested. that IL
was lost i'm the shuttle of big measures
that came before the President in the
closing days OF the session. Anyway.
the friends OF the measure have become
more firmly convinced of the importance
of the Presidents signature to a proposed
law, but. believing that the President is
not opposed to the measure, they will
endeavor to get it through this session.
