convened in open session. at which
time a five minute recess was taken.
While h executive session was be-
ing held there was an anxious crowd
of spectators in the corridor just be-
yond the main entrance to the senate
chamber, but the assistant sergeant at
arms was stationed there and he kept
everybody at a safe distance.
Reports were current In the halls
that the senator's, while in executive
session, We're considering the report Of
the committee on state affairs which
pertained, so 1t is alleged, to the seal
| ed communication received from Gov
ernor Burke the first day OF the ses-
sion. The idea seemed to prevail
among those on the outside that the
communication related to the confirm
alton of the appointments Governor
Burke had made Of the members of the
tax commission and h board of COM
troll. In the open session Of the sem
ate there was no reference made of
the executive session, and it is thought
the matter is to be still further con-
sidered by the senate.
Following the executive session Sem
ator Mcdowell offered at 3:05 a motion
to take a FIVE minute recess, which mo-
ton prevailed.

tenn Of keeping the legislative Journals

in the shape of new laws.
