ardous one in any case. First, it must
be submitted to the House of Repre-

drawn it. BY the House it is referred
to a committee. If it is a bill of any
Importance, the committee summons
experts and holds hearings, often TAX

the bill will very often be sent to the
President or to the executive head of
the department to which it applies. For
example, the parcel post measure was
doubtless scanned by the Postmaster
General and his assistants long before
it came back to the House. The bill
will then be reported to the House by
the committee, where it will be debat-
ed very fully-eyen though not in
definitely-and so finally it will come
to the Senate.
Here il must once more be grilled
by a committee; every one who is sup
posed to know anything about it must
be called upon for an opinion: and

has passed through months of careful
consideration by four or fives different

out at the Capitol and it may be pre-
sented next week. The matter has
been submitted to Governor Brum-
baugh, who is studying the cost OF
such services rendered to the State
in the last half dozen years.
1t is believed that the whole de-
partment can be created and operated
at 100000 for the two year period.
The State paid for buildings for which
it furnished the appropriations over
$450,OO0 in the last two and a half
years.
The idea would be to hold down the
cost of construction and engineering
to about 1000 for each patient capa-
city, while the department would be
directly under the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings which has to
approve all plans anyway.
The First Hearing.-Governor Brum-
baugh to-day announced that in re-
sponse to requests for hearings he had
fixed next Thursday at o'clock for
hearing objections to the two bills
amending the Philadelphia port bills.

to-day for Philadelphia, where he will
meet a number of delegations to-mor-
row. He plans to return here on Mon
day and to leave that night for New

Bills Approved. - Governor Brum
baugh to-day approved three bills:
Authorizing Peter G. Kuhn, Scranton,
to sue the Commonwealth for injuries
to his health when called into State
service to fight a forest fire; making a
$2J, 900 deficiency appropriation to the

Commissioner Foust to-day ordered
fifty-seven suits for violation of food
