This is probably tjie first
time in, history that the ap-
propriation bills have been
passed by committees this
early in the session. These
money bills are usually acted
on after the regular 120 days
of the session are/gone. Then
they have to be passed hurried-
ly. This time every meinber
of the legislature, as well as
the general public, will have
sufficient time to see.the bills
and to study them before they
are finally parsed.
With the business-like man-
ner in which things have been
run so far, it is generally
agreed that good progress has
been made.
If this trend continues there
is a good possibility of finish-
ing the session in 120 days,
which is something most of us
... ,ho|/acan be done. « ..
