There has been some question as to |
whether the 18th of November is legal
holiday. II is not. The legislature
which met in special session on the 4th
of November. 1919, passed resolution
suggesting that the governor issue a
proclamation asking for an observance
of the 11th of that month as the first
of the signing of the armis-
tice, and Governor Milliken soon after
issued such proclamation. That
doubtless caused more observance of
the anniversary than would otherwise
have been had, but it did not make 1t a
legal holiday. With regard to the 18th
of November, 1920, or the same date in
any subsequent year, no action Of the
legislative or executive department OF
the state government has ever been
taken.
