SENATE BILLS ON THE THIRD READING.
The bill [S. 12], authorizing cities and incorporated towns to vacate cemeteries within or adjoining their corporations limits, upon conditions, ect., being read the third time--
Mr. KENNER said the bill was directly applicable to his town (Huntington), there be two unused cemeteries almost in the center of the town, which were being trampled over by cattle. There seems to be no law touching this case, and he thought the bill was legislation in the right direction.
The bill passed by yeas, 88; nays, 0.
The Senate concurrent resolution for a request of Indiana Congressmen to favor the passage of an act appropriating $100,000 for the purpose of making navigable the Kankakee River, coming up in order, it was read an adopted.
The bill [H. R. 34] to provide for a Police Judge for the city of Indianapolis, was read the third time.
Mr. NEFF had two objections to the bill. It purports to be a bill of special jurisdiction. The title of the office created by the bill is "Police Judge." He though it was a useless bill, and ought not to pass, as there were some dangerous provisions in it,
Mr. McSHEEHY said he was requested by the City Council, who were the representatives of the people, to introduce the bill, and gave it as his understanding that every Representative from this county was in favor of the bill.
The bill then passed by--yeas, 80; nays, 12.
The Committee for the Investigation of the Reformatory Institution was made to consist of the Messrs. Wright, O'Brien and Cummings.
