final word that shall mean resur-
rection and life even over the dis
approval Of Governor Olcott or ul-
sImate consignment to the heap of

source from whence they origi-
mated for consideration. If a
Mwo-third vote of the members
H9resent in both houses at the time
the vote is taken on reconsideration

mres then the governors action is
faw. Otherwise the veto stands.
