It provides for the exercise of the authority of the inspector in any place, however small, and looks to an investigation therefore of the measur- ing devices of roadside gasoline stands. The amendment also cuts off fees for Inspection These fees never amount ed to enough to make it worth while to collect them and they always proved a cause of irritation.

 Two Bills Near to End
 The house brought two measures to the verge of final disposition and will prepare them today for transmission to the senate. In the committc of the whole the bill providing for the burial of indigent soldiers and marines, their widows or wives, and as afterward amended, their mothers. was favorably reported by the committee and later was sent to the committee on enrolled and engrossed bills which reported it back for third reading.
 The same stage was reached by Mir. Lines bill amending the constitution so that the state school fund shall be distributed among the counties on the basis of average attendance, instead oi on the basis of the school census as is now provided. Some opposition was de- veloped. The bill was first questioned by MT. Howard of Gila. Mir. Vyne Of Yavapai raised a mild objection, not to the purpose of the measure, but to the manner of going about it. He believed that it would be better simply to repeal those parts of the constitution neces- sary, and then to enact statute cover ing the ground MT. Lines desired. The same view was taken by MT Barrows Mr. Lines was supported by the re- marks of Speaker Peterson and MT Delbridge. On the vote to recommend there was no dissent, but later on, . motion to send the bill to the enrolling and expressing committee. there were seven votes in the negative. This bil was also reported back by the enrolling and expressing committee and vii come up for final action today.
