Unforeseen Obstacle compels
Chamber To Lay Member

The constitution of the chamber does
not permit the election to its sub com.
mittees of any but members of the par
ent body.
The amendment had been prepared
and was ready for the vote of the
chamber yesterday, when it was found
that other provisions to the same end
had been made in Act 175, the appro.
priation bill.
The chamber is in receipt of six thou.
