hnre proper amendments that would
be necessary TO bring about biennial
sessions should the people vote 1t.
+ 1t will be rememberes, that amend
ments looking to 6fernial sessions
were passed on atonetime, but because
the amendments were not properly
roande,. and did not Include all of tile
sections, that should have been cover
ed tie general assembly did nor yatify
the vote OF the pe0ple.
Meesrs. Bolt and King o7fS5ed res-
oiuiion witch sought 10 have the
proper amendments 3repaf I'd. This
suggestion was opposed but the advo-
Gates os biennial Sessions won by a
vote OF 6s to III which does not, hosg-
ever, naear that @lleii the resolutions
are actually presented that they will
Ireceire the necesgary two-silirds vote.
