While we deplore the failure to pass
the bill to enable soldiers and sailors

such a bill. nevertheless, the work of
the Extra Session in passing the Coun-
Gil of Defense Act. the appropriation of

that they may acquire the fullest knowl-

this convention that the Governor give

priations and employ such expert or
other assistance "a he may deem neces-
sary in the preparation of the first bud

of Baltimore to include within its limits
