BY the Associated Press.

has been given three measures

counties and municipalities a greater
degree Of control over their own

The home rule" bills, two of
which passed the Senate Though in
somewhat mauled FORMS, have been
held by the House Corporations
Committee for several weeks and it
looked today as if sine die adjourn
ment of the Legislature would find
them still in committee.
House Speaker White fought the
measures in Legislative Council
meetings and promised they would
meet their death in the House.
Supporters ofathe home rule
measures maintained that if they
had ever reached the House floor
they would have had good chance
of passage.
In their original form, the meas
ures would have extended legisla-
tive and executive powers to county
commissioners, set down blanket
prescribed prerogatives for officials
of incorporated communities and
provided for vote on a Econstitu-
tional amendment to remove these
powers from the General Assembly
AS passed by the Senate, 13 coun-
ties were exempted from the county
commissioners measure and seven
were exempted from the municipali-
ties bill. The constitutional amend
ment failed to pass the Senate.
