majority Of both houses at their
homes, the general assembly will be
confronted at twelve o'clock tomor-
row with the much-debaked problem
of limiting discussion At the special
session to certain prescribed types
OF legislation.
The house was the flrst to pass "a
restricting resolution, under the pro-
visions OF which only road bills and
bills referred by the governor were
permitted, except by the joint con-
sent Of a majority Of both houses.
This resolution did not pass the sen
ate until amended almost beyond
recognition. Members Of the upper
house, by a majority OF one vote,
favored the inclusion Of bills per-
tanning to the schools and eleennosy-
nary institutions Of the state and bills
and resolutions relating to the reve-
nue. and joint resolutions amending
the constitution
The house rejected the senate
amendment unanimously and the
special session will not really get un-
der way until both houses have ar
bftrated and settled the matter.
The night on the roads bill intro
duced by Governor Davis and the one
sponsored blythe Virginia Good Roads
association will start in earnest at the
meeting OF the house committee on
roads and internal navigation Mon
day afternoon. Governor Davis will
be heard by the committee and asked
to point out whatever advantages his
bill has over the one Of the associa-
ton.
