In his argument against the con
kcurrent resolution providing for a re
cess from Thursday to the followint
| Tuesday, Representative Lambert stat
ed that he had heard the state official
making remarks regarding the ad
| iournment and stating that they dit
not think it was a good and wise thinl
for the legislature to adjourn at thl
| time and the chair called the nev
members attention to the fact that n
| thought the advice of the state official
was not just the proper think to pa!
| any attention to when it came to |
matter of attending to, the business o
the house. Mr.. Lambert also gave no
tice that this was his first session t
| serve as a member of the law nnakint
body, but that his short experience ha'
rather disgusted him with the work o
like the fellow said about the sausage
the more he sees of the making tn
less he thinks of the product.
1t was after o'clock when the hous
finished with the reading and referenc
/ of senate bills and a motion to adjourn
| carried before they reached the orde
of business where the house would hav
resolved itself into committee of tn
whole.
