LEGISLATORS TARDY
ABOUT RETURNING
There Are ls Bills Waiting for Action in
the House and Considerable Num-
Der Are Ready for the
Senate.

Senate.
Eighteen bills are on the calendar for
action by the House this afternoon aud
of this number II have been read the
third time and will probably be passed.
This morning there were few members
around the State House and unless tins
number is greatly augmented this after
noon, there will hardly be quorum AZ
the afternoon session, which would indl-
cate that the majority of the members
do not look favorably upon the idea oi
working on Washington's birthday.
The Senate also convened this after
noon at O'Clock for the first time .A
the legislature assembled, t. ~
branch usually adjourning until .ay
evening. Included in the list q. seven
bills awaiting third readings in the Sen-
ate is the measure relating TO the open
season for hunting deer. This bill, which
caused such furore in the House last
week on account of the clause permitting
the killing of does this year is expected
to create some debate in the Senatej hut
nevertheless will probably pass.
On the Senate calendar there are nine
bills and one resolution, which have been
ordered to lie, and three more have been
made special orders for tomorrow after
noon and Thursday afternoon. Senate
46. which would allow the Boston &
Maine railroad to consolidate with roads
now leased, is at last in shape for action
by the Senate. the bill having been or
dered to lie Feb. 9, after being reported
fayorably.
Another important measure which has
haen living on the table for some time is
that relating to increased powers OF the
state factory inspector. which was re-
ported unfavorably. This bill will prob
ably pass after amendments have been
made, which are expected to do away
with the objections to the bill in its
present form.
