ported this bill 20 the committee on
telegraphs and telephones. its work
was done. and the Senate could take
such action as IL saw At.
tabled the bill with the idea Of
sending it TO some other committee.
I understand the committee On teIe-
graphs and telephones has very nt.ie
work to do. and the committee OF
which I am a member IS overloaded
with work This matter, however, lie
q matter which affects the suhstan-
tive law Of this State, and such mat.
tiers It seems to me ought to 60 to 4
legal committee.
Go not wish 10 encroach upon the
work Of any other committee, bu.
simply ask that the bin be RECON-
niitted to the committee on reference
and see II they wish It to 60 TO some
other committee.
