This sailor gives his name, his

seems to be the honorable APP

good woman's cheering words by

We share with the heads Of these
fine families the greatest respect

Both Houses ReSuneCt Meas

Following strong lobbying on both
sides Of the question. both Houses
have revived bills to give increased
power to the board Of accounts and
two bills, slightly conflicting in their
provisions. were on their way to pas
sage today.
The House, several days ago, voted to
postpone indefinitely a bill giving the
board Of accounts power over road and
school contracts on petition Of ten
taxpayers. The bill had previously
passed the Senate. These powers had
been assumed by the board, but the
Appellate Court held some time ago
they We're without warrant of law
1t was after this bill had been post
poned that the lobby for the board of
accounts was strengthened. As re-
suit. bill was introduced in the Sen
ate giving the same powers 10 the
board on petition Of twenty-five tax
payers.
Almost simultaneously, Wednesday
afternoon, the two Houses started
working on the bills. After a hard
fight and a parliamentary tangle. the
House suspended the rules and re
called to life the bin previously in
definitely postponed.
Meanwhile the Senate adopted a
majority committee report favorinS
passage of the newly introduced bill.
Proponents Of the measures in each
house insisted supervision Of school
and road building by the board is
necessary. Opponents objected the
