HAD BUSY
TINE YESTERDAY

- y
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. %. There
was more work before the house of
representatives yesterday than at any
time since the convening of the ses-
sion, with committee reports being
adopted and new bills introduced
there was business that kept the
house in session for more than an
hour and half. Two bills were re-
ceived from the senate. both having
to do with the eliminating of the
long hand written journal and the
written engrossed bills. There is no
question but these bills will pass as
they are committee bills and have the
approval of almost every member, in
fact there is O chance there will not
be a dissenting vote when the roll
is called. These bills have the ener-
gency clause and will effect the work
of the present session. 1t is expected
this move will save the state sew
eral thousand dollars at each session
of the legislature. The house went
into the committee Of the whole for
the first time today to consider a
number OF bills that had been re-
ported back by the standing commit
tees. With work ahead now appear
