eral Assembly has established a rec.
ord of having presented the greatest
number of measures by more than 100
than at any other session in the his
tory of Colorado.
The expiration of tho thirty-day linn
it for introduction of bills under the
constitution resulted in the presenta.
ton at three sessions on the last day
of more than 300 bills.
A feature of the night session was
the introduction of bills abolishing ev-
cry salaried board and commission un-
der the supervision of the state, and
bills by every member of the House
providing for appropriations of O,OOO
each for road building.
The general abolition of state
boards and commissions was made on
recommendation of the appropriations
committee and is step taken, accord
ing to many members, toward reap
portionment of employees at lower sal
aries and the reduction of staffs in
the retrenchment policy advocated by
Governor Ammons. "a
The total of $650,00O asked in the
appropriations of sixty-five members

men in accordance with the various
lines of industry represented in the
proposed districts is the object of a
bill introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Mann, the minority leader.
His is one of four re-apportionment
measures, and he claims for it the
entire absence of political considora-
tions. District No. /, in this as in all
other congressional re-apportionment
measures, would be the city and coun-
ty of Denver.
District No. would be practically
all of northeastern Colorado, includ
ing the sugar beet section and the dry
farming region to the east thereof.
District No. would take in south
eastern Colorado, including Pueblo
and Colorado Springs, the dominating
interests being agriculture, grazing
and mining.
District No. would be of enormous
size and include the mountain sec
tions, with mining as the dominating
interest, and grazing, fruit growing
and general agriculture secondary
This would take in tho western slope,
southwestern Colorado and all the big
mining camps in the heart of the state.
