has practically kept intact the Office
force left him when former Commits

tant on the list and Mr.. Works does
not propose to hamper it's present eff.

measures, but they are there and no
session of the legislature is complete
without them Such bills always find
their way into the hands of innocent
parties and to point out any in par
ticular would do an injustice to those
who have been imposed upon.
