them through in bunch. He also
called attention TO what ne claimed to
to the fact that apprOp Opriatlone made

OF the time during the early part
or the session is given over to uniin-
portant and often even useiess legiH- Z
latiOn and the important work rushed
through In tfa last few hours. He
said that the eleventh assembly sent
224 bills to him the last day of the
session which was more than any
