He was. the- originator of the “white wings” squad in this city and lifted that department from perennial | incompetence to efficiency. He was almost as widely known as an author as he was an engineer. Several of the principal cities in the country, in- cluding Memphis, Tenn., and Buffalo, N.

Session of 207 Legislative Days. From January 4 when the outgoing republican governor, Eben S. Draper, administered the oath o the 280 mem- bers of the two branches, followed the next day by the inauguration of the new democratic governor, Eugene N. Foss, until this afternoon, when Sec retary of State Langtry proclaimed prorogation, there were 207 legislative days, or one more_than the session of 1883 when Benjamin F. Butler, another democrat, was governor. 25 Vetoes by Governor. The session of 1911, like that of 1883, was principally a joint debate between the governor 4nd the legislature, and here again new records were estab- lished. The legislature sent 972 acts and resolves to the executive brgnch, while the governor signed 914, return- ed 25 without his approval and al- lowed to become law without his sig- nature 33 others. Nine Measures Passed Over Vets. In addition to the 25 vetoes’ Govern- or Foss sent 85 messages to the lfi- islature, far exceeding any of predecessors in that respect. Nearly all of these suggestions were turned down and in addition the legislature passed nine measures over the govern» or's veto, another record. Much Labor Legislation. Despite the long controversy between the two branches of the government, they joined in placing many impert- ant acts on the statute books. Labor was especially favored this year in Massachusetts with the adoption of & workingmen's compensation act and the passage of a 54-hour bill for wo- men and minors, an eight-hour bill for public employes and the trial by jur in contempt cases. .
