Amending Of Finance
Code Ends In Senate

Continued from page -
When the subject was taken up in the
afternoon he proposed that the mat
ter be allowed to lie over for "a hours
in order that members might have
time to investigate the substitutes
which he said he did not understand.
Further, he said, that inasmuch as
1t was something that affected the
highway department, State Engineer
Maddox should be allowed to appear
before the senate.
Mr.. Elliott replied that in the in
terest of facilitating business he would
insist upon action at once since that
would not bar the way to a further
consideration of the substitute. The
Dill would still have to have its sec
ond and third readings. and any
changes that might be found to be
desirable could then be made. Mr..
Wilkinson protested, though, that IL
was an infringement upon the right
or senators to compel them to vote
upon measure which was not clear
to them. Mr.. Larson joined in the
protest against immediate action. A
motion by Mr.. Wilkinson to defer
action for "a hours was defeated by
q vote of to 10. after which a vote
was taken on the amendment and
carried by a vote OF IL to z. two re-
publicans. Messrs Morgan and Wood
ward voting with the democrats.
1t was stated later that as the bin
now stands and in the absence OF any
other provision in the general ap-
preparation bill for, the state high
way department no new work can be
taken up by the department after
July until next December.
House bill 2, the amendment to
the Improvement Act, unexpected
ly made re-appearance in the legis-
lature yesterday afternoon. This bill
had been amended in the senate by
the striking out of a clause which
was intended to validate certain pro-
ceedings that had been taken in a
paving project In Tucson under the
existing law. Reference had been
made in the title OF the bill TO that
clause, and when the clause had been
eliminated. the reference to it was
inadvertently allowed TO stand
Whether that would have affected
the validity of the bill was uncertain.
1t was said that it would probably
not have done so, but it was thought
better to have the oversight correct
ed. and the bill was brought back
