bills presented and referred will
probably have reached twice

bill must be printed six times,

the publication of certain matter

this character were introduced in
the last Congress, and eight or
nine have been brought forward
in the present.
The Committee has
ported adversely the bill to license
conductors, and this is
probably the last that will be
heard of that measure.
