The progress of the Government

that Lichtenburg probably cannot be

Afterward the Governor announced
that the Republicans had agreed to give
him his public service legislation and
to pass the bills repeating the acts
creating the State defensive council. the
State food commission and the State
ice comptroller, bills carrying out
these recommendations being already
on their way through the legislative

Commission of five members Is not to
be disturbed, so the Governor will soon
send TO the Senate the name of a man
to fill the vacancy on that board, which
has existed since Jerome L. Cheney re-
signed. The place pays $4,000 a year
and the term is five years.
The Governor and the Republican
