Thereupon, the President of the Senate signed the aforesaid bills and resolutions, and they were delivered to the committee on Engrossed Bills, to be by them laid before His Excellency the Governor, for his approval and signature.

Mr. Lane, from the joint committee on Engrossed Bills, reported that they had laid before His Excellency the Governor, for his consideration, and if approved, for his official signature, all bills and resolutions reported by them as having been correctly engrossed, which have received the signature of the Speaker of

the House and President of the Senate, during the present session.

Mr. Hale, from the joint committee, appointed to wait on His Excellency the Governor, and inform him that the business of the preseni session of the legislature being closed, both branches thereof are now ready to be adjourned to the last Wednesday of May next, reported that they had attended to that duty, and that His Excellency replied that he would send in a message, adjourning the legislature accordingly, as soon as he had sufficiently considered the bills and resolutions now before him.

A message from His Excellency the Governor by the Secretary of State:

To the Senate and House of Representatives:

I have signed all the acts and resolutions which have been presented to me at this session, except an act, entitled “An act in addition to and in amendment of the militia laws of this State."

The late hour at which that act has been received, effectually prevents that consideration which its importance demands, but believing, as I do, that its passage would destroy that which it is intended to improve, I cannot give it my signature, nor is it, at this late hour, practicable for me to return the bill, with my objections, to the house where it originated.

Having been informed by your coinmittee, that you have finished all the business designed to be transacted, and that you are now ready to adjourn, I do, according to your request, adjourn the legislature to the last Wednesday of May next.

JOHN H. STEELE. Council Chamber, July 3, 1945."

The President then declared the Senate adjourned to the last Wednesday of May next. Attest
