RICHMOND, Va. March 24.-The
final sessions for business of the
Legislature came to an end late yes
tcrday. when both houses managed to
adjourn at the same time and with
out any concerted action.
The last day was marked by JUS
two events of note--the agreement
In the house to the senate referendum
matter and the defeat OF the measure
to broaden the scope OF the regula-
tion of the state highway contractors
The effort was to so widen the scope
of the law that all firms, persons and
corporations dealing with the state
and furnishing supplies would have
to open their books to the state Off
GERS at any and all times.
This was considered unwise. and
when the house struck off the amend
ment proposed by Senator oliver the
latter sought to have the senate in
slst, but the roll call found only four
of thirtysiX members of his opinion.
Sessions Next Thursday.
Both houses are to hold construc-
tive sessions next Thursday after
noon. by which time the clerks will

Wall then be signed in open session
of the two branches and sent to the
governor for his action.
The principal event on the last DAY
was a verbal clash between Senator
Goolrick of Frederick shurg and Sem
ator Ntclham of Caroline, the latter
repudtating the intimation that he
had won the nomination by declining
to take position or to discuss the
matter before he was nominated. He
said he had not solicited a vote had
not sought the nomination and that
he had merely oheyed the command
of the people of his district.
He denied that the bond forces had
Won any part of Il victory. else they
would have carried out their pro-
gram OF passing the bond hin for
s0o,o00.00n of bonds instead of agree
ing to allow the people of the state
to pass on the matter.
Servant of People.
Speaking for himself Senator
Nickham declared that the state of
Virginia might vote for bonds. but
that If the people Of his own district
told him to vote against bonds-and
he did not know that he would again
return-he would obey the behest of
his own people
In this connection. senator Epes
leading the fight against bonds. said
that the vote Of the people of the
1t would not be compelling. and it
is believed that he spoke for the
anti i-bond forces. The fight this year
will be a bitter one from every angle
and 1t is easy to see that in every
section there will be two sets of
candidates for the legislature in each
district
