DOVER, Feb. 1O.--with one more
week for the introduction OF new bus
mess, 115 bills had been introduced
in the House and 90 in the Senate
when the General Assembly took
recess yesterday afternoon until noon
Monday. The indications are that
there will not be nearly so many bills
introduced in either house as there
have been during the last three sos-
sions OF the Legislature. The dead
line was placed on new bills in both
houses February / two years ago and
by that time there was more than 800
bills on the House calendar and nearly
200 in the Senate. Next Friday is the
last day that bills can be introduced.
There are several bills TO come rela-
tive TO automobiles and motor traffic,
several from tho Council OF Wilmng
ton and the Levy Court OF New Castle
county. The coming week will also
see a rush Of bills introduced by mem
bers at the request of friends and
these will clog the calendars for sew
eral days until they are weeded out
The prospects are that there will
be night session next Friday night
/ Suffrage Gains Strength.
The amendment TO the constitution
providing for equal suffrage from
present indications will receive more
support In both branches at this sea
son than ever before. There is a
strong possibility OF the amendment
receiving a majority vote in the Sen
ate but, being an amendment to the
constitution. II requires a two-thirda
vote in both branches at two consec
utive sessions of the General Assem-

hearing on the suffrage amendment
will be held in the House chamber
next Friday. This is expected to be

The frozen plugs and low water
pressure made II impossible to get
more than one stream on the fire at a

started there was nothing left Of the
