1t was the unanimous opinion that such
a law was necessary and practically un-
animous as to the provisions such a
thoroughly talked over and it was de-
cided to appoint a committee to draft
bill for presentation to the next Legis-
lature and to hold another meeting at a
later date at which to devise ways and
means for bringing it before the people.
