The work of the legislators was) completed about 2 a. m., but many lengthy bills had to be engrossed and prepared for signature. Speaker C. V. Freeman, presiding officer of the house, and Lieutenant-Governor John W. Carr, president of the sen- ate, remained to perform this work. The bitterness which roused the ire of many legislators vanished as the clock marked the passage of the final day and the keynote at the close was one of personal, if not political har- mony. In the house Speaker Freeman was presented with a watch in recogni- tion of his services and responded with.e speech in which he thanked all of the members for their cooperation and praised both factions for their forebearante and courtesy in dealing with the chair. Tt. was a pleasant occasion, marred only when Freeman's chair broke and he fell to the floor as O. E.

Because no expression of opposition to the measure has come from Gov- ernor Shafer, he is expected to sign the bill. ‘ Immediately following passage of the bridge appropriation bill, the senate also approved another house bill, providing for the transfer of $200,000 from the state bridge fund to state highway building fund. Efforts to amend the figure to $300,000 failed. Six I. V.
