PROHIBITORY AMENDMENT.

A motion by Mr. HEFFREN to suspend the Constitutional rules and read the bill [S. 6] to provide for the appointment of Supervisors of highways and prescribing their duties, the second time by title only, failed for want of a Constitutional majority-yeas, 66; nays, 22.
On a recount, subsequently, the motion was agreed to by yeas, 68, nays 25.
Accordingly the bill was read the second time by title only and referred to the Committee on Roads.
On motion by Mr. Mellett the bill [H. R. 412] to provide for regents for the State University was read the second time and referred to the Committee on Education.
