saying the engineers had not drafted |
that law. While this bill was drawn by

ing bank legislation, the teachers too
free Il hand in drafting educational
laws. and other classes the same way.
| Morris objected to the remarks,
saying the banking code enacted two
years ago at the behest of the bankers
placed more stringent regulations upon
the members of the banking fraternity
than ever before.
Edwards defended the bill upon the
grounds it gave protection to the gen.
eral public, in that it prevented in
competent architects from imposing
upon the public. The bill was recon-

Sunday Closing.
There was a brief debate over Sub.
II. 3. 204, the Sunday closing of sa-
looms. Slayton expressed the belief if
the members of the senate voted the
would go through with only about
three negative votes. He said it was
reported around that no more tenn
perance legislation was going to be
considered at this session, but he
hoped this bill would go through.
Mershon, Muffly and Lane spoke
against it. O'Shea and Amin for it.
= lo.1 I,y, s,ss ,.oto
of 16 to II.
Amin objected to H. 2. 500, legal
izing boxing in counties of the first
class. Gallwey spoke for the measure,
saying pretty nearly all of Silver
Bows joys and delights had been
taken away from it; that that county
voted for boxing by a majority of
5000 and inasmuch as the bill af-
fected only Silver Bow county, he
thought it ought to so through. Smith
of Lewis and Clark asked Amin why
he was always opposed to bills that
did not affect his part of the state in
any way. Amin did not reply. Lane
raised a laugh, when in support of the
u BILL he remarked it affected only Sill
t. liver Bow and Rosebud counties.

of bonds by cities and towns, was
