today.
Called up on the floor Of the House
late yesterday for ruling as to its TECH
nical legislative status, Speaker Ozlin
today recorded his opinion that the bill
Is Of general character and therefore not
properly before the General Assembly
at this time. Only local bills are being
considered during the closing weeks of
the Legislature. which ends tomorrow.
The ruling definitely killed the meas
ure for this session. II was the reverse
of that given last year by Lieut. Gov.

Senate. Under the latter'S ruling the
Senate passed the bill last session. but
II died in the House at the hands of
