the attention of the House to the fact

sons in charitable or benevolent in
stitutions not wholly owned or con-
trolled by the State" tabled pending
reference to the committee on legal

this tabled because there was an ap-
parent error in the last section OF
the same by which it's terms would
repeal certain act passed in 1919,
which would exempt soldiers and
sailors possessing honorable dis
charges from the operation of the
pauper act. This act in terms
would repeal that. Feeling sure that
that was not the intention of the au-
thor, have conferred with the Sem
ator who introduced the same and he
tells me it was a typographical mis-
take. and it should have been 1917
Therefore, I move that it be refer
red to the committee on legal affairs

ment No. 90, bill "Ap act to establish
