the emergency clause attached to the
bill, through which it will take immed
late effect upon being Signed by the
governor.
When the characterization bill came
up for third reading, Rep. Hoare made
plea for immediate action and ask
ed, also that the emergency be car
ried, declaring that an actual emer
gency existed in that many parents
who did not believe in vaccination
were prevented by the present stat
utes from sending their children ia
school, 5t&Ei}f %trt{sJ.
Rep. Burtness declared himself in
favor of5repealing the present statutes
making vaccination compulsory. He
believed these laws3to be too broad in
their scope. But he suggested that
the bill should be so amended as to
permit boards of health to prescribe
compulsory vaccination in times OF
acute epidemic, when boards of health
he urged, should be given the power
to declare an emergency. Rep. Burt
ness motion to this effect was tabled
and both the bill and its emergency
clause were carried by more than the
members voting. :.
Patterson Misinformed.
Because one journal was missing
from his file, Rep. Del Paterson jump
ed at the conclusion Friday that the
rule adopted by the house covering
the vote on emergency measures
might be unconstitutional, and he ask
ed that the vote by which this rule
was adopted be reconsidered. Rep
'Twlchell, author OF the motion for the
adoption OF this rule, and member
Of the special committee which wait
ed upon Attorney General LANCER tG
ascertain the status of the emergenes
under the amended constitution, q;
planned matters, and Pattersons mo
tion was laid on the table.
The gentleman from DOnnyb brook
stated that he made his motion
through fear that the rule adopted
that emergencies re declared carried
by a 'twO.thirds vote OF the members
present and voting thereon, was un
constitutional. Rep, Twichell quoted
for him the emergency amendment tt
the constitution approved by the peo
pie last November and ratified by the
present assembly, and proved that
the exact wording of the constitution
al amendment had been used. ia
