PETITIONS.
Mr. BROWN presented petitions from citizens of Shelby county, praying against the passage of a bill before this General Assembly legalizing certain assessment acts of gravel road companies, which were referred to the Committee on Corporations.
Mr. STEELE moded to suspend the order of business that the bill [H. R. 163] for the assessment and collection of taxes, just returned from the Finance Committee, may be read the third time and put on its passage.
