Adjournment In TLCO Weeks Is Believed Possible;
Senate Demands Report From Vehicle Department

A Senate concurrent resolution TO
modify the resolution shutting off
new business was adopted by both
Houses on Tuesday. The purpose of
this was the Introduction of a bill
in the Senate to appropriate $4,000
for each of the next two fiscal years
to the Delaware Employment Bur-
eau. This appropriation was left out
of the budget bill by mistake.
The Senate passed the bill under
suspension of rules. When 1t was
given its third reading Senator Paul
r. Rinard raised the question of
whether it would require E:ajority
of three-fourths vote because It was
called a supplementary approprla-
tiOn bill in section.
p. Warren Green, legislative at
torney. gave 1t as his opinion that
the money was being appropriated
to a State agency and therefore 1t
would require only a majority vote
despite the fact It is supplementary
appropriation bill. AS it turned out,
the bill passed unanimously.
