through the house and senate yester-
day afternoon and last evening, and
when the two houses finally ad.
journed a few minutes before mid
night, the house had worked off 80
of the bills on it's calendar passing
SO house bills, one senate bill and in
definitely postponed five house bills
and killing one by substitution.
OF the measures passed few We're
of any great importance. The logged
off land committee bill providins
for a commission and the creation
Of Improvement districts for develop
ment of lands and authorizing the in
Vestment of the permanent school
funds in the development, was passed
with but slight opposition, ana this
came from those who did not want
any restrictions taken off the perman-
ent school fund investments.
Goss Group Passes
Another important bit of legislation
was the passage of the Goss group
of eight bills, providing that all
boards and commissions of eXamin
ers turn all fees collected over to the
state treasurer and receive warrants
from the state auditor for their serv-
ices. This measure has. been advo-
Gated for the last three adminstra-
tions as needed legislation. In the
past the examining boards have made
no accounting of funds and fees re-
ceived.
The segregation of sexes at the
state training school was taken up
on the house bill which was killed by
substituting the senate measure. The
bill was amended in the house to
permit the commission created to re-
port on a site Considerable opposi-
tion developed against having the
boys and girls school at Chehals.
The bill carries an appropriation Of
S2500O0.
A large number of small appropria-
ton relief bills We're passed.
Action in the Senate
In the senate q senate bills and
three house bills were passed. Eight
cen senate measures We're killed.
OF the bills passed, the most i'm
portant was the MCGUIRE measure au-
thorizing the sale of state lands un-
der a 20-year installment plan in
stead of 10 years, as at the present
time.
The Hewitt boxing bill was also
passed. This creates a boxing CON-
mission in the state similar to the
