ness is proposed in report If the
rules committee made yesterday by
Senator C. O. Heckle, chairman of the
rules committee. This report was
made a special order for 300 P. NJ,

that the change will be acted upon
favorably.
The principal changes are made ir
rule 27 providing for the time limit
in which bills can be introduced.
All appropriation bills, except for

thirds vote to suspend this rule.
No other bills can be introduced af-
ter the 35th day without two~thirds
vote. All bills must be reported out

special extension of time is given by
the Senate. If no request for exten-
sion is made, any member can call
the bill from the committee in that
time. ...... .....
These are the principal changes in
the senate rules and they are done in
the interest of dispatch and to pre-
vent a flood of bills toward the end
of the session.
