The house put by considerable busi- ness passing four measures, the most important of which was the drainage district bill. but it was much like the two long bills in the senate, desperately dry notwithstanding the subject matter and when the time came to vote some of the members had to be given three chances at it to find out what they were voting on The medical bill was killed just before the noon hour on a final vote of IS to IT.
