SESSION HOURS.
Mr. THOMPSON called up a resolution lying on the table since a previous day, changing the hours of meeting to 9 a. m. and 2 p. m.
Mr. HUSTON said if the House knew what was to the best interest of this body, it would not change the hour of meeting, as Committees now meet in the afternoon which fully absorbs the time.
Mr. MEREDITH thought this body was spending a great deal of the people's time uselessly by meeting as at present, and so he favored the change.
Mr. CARTER thought the Committee work could be done at odd hours, and at night; and he also favored the change of the hour of meeting.
The resolution to change the hour of meeting to 9 a. m. and 2 p. m. was adopted--yeas, 73; nays, 4.
On motion by Mr. WRIGHT, the hill [S. 64] refunding city indebtedness, was ordered taken from the table and referred to a Special Committee of Five.
