Moseley replied that he was going
to Cheswold. The other man said
that he was going to Millsboro and
asked Moseley to take him as far as

Outstanding SchOO bonds
The House adopted a resolution
offered by Mr.. Cleaver authorizing
Speaker Robinson to procure an
itemized list of all bonds issued by
school districts and special school
districts now outstanding. 1t was
adopted 21 to IL. The only objec-
ton to the resolution as voiced by
Representative Tatnall was that all
the information required could be
secured from the State Treasurer
without bothering the school dis
tricts. This information is needed
for a bill that is to be offered re-
quiring the payment of all such
funds from the State school fund.
The House Wednesday afternoon
adopted without debate the Senate
concurrent resolution to shut off in
PRODUCTION of new business at four
o'clock, February 27. The same reso-
luton also provides that there shall
be visits by the Legislature to State
institutions on inspection trips af-
ter Tuesday, February 21.
Members of both houses believe
that by fixing q deadline for new
business this early in the session it
will speed up the introduction of
bills and also serve as a warning
that all new bills must be in by the
specified date. Another idea back of
this plan is to do away with the in
PRODUCTION of skeleton bills which
was the practice some years ago.
