 This resolution appl1eS 70 Ine oc- currences at Lawrence. That is a matter which do not feel the state of Massachusetts is unable to cope with. Therefore, l object"
 Under the rules there was no fur fher opportunity for the consideration of the matter at that time and Rep resentative Wilson reluctantly strode
