Legislature
Considering Adjournment on Account of Influenza and Sick Members Until April or
First of May. . . Lt. Governor Gardner Is Opposed to Postponement
By W.T. Bost
Raleigh, N.C., Jan. 13—With Speaker Brummitt in bed sick and
Representative Taylor of Hyde in bed with the “Flu” and Representative High in
bed with a high temperature, preconvention hours were spent in considering
adjournment until either April of the first of May.
Speaker Brummitt later in the day sent word that he would
open the House at 2 o’clock, but in the meantime the delegates feel that it is
best to close on account of the prevalence of influenza and a number of have
gone home.
Lt. Governor Gardner is dead against adjournment. He does
not know whether to ??. But there is so much agitation in the Lower House for
recess that a continued session looks gloomy today.
In the Senate today Gray of Forsyth county introduced a
resolution to introduce into the state the Virginia budget system of
accounting.
The Upper House awaited action in the Lower House until 2
o’clock during which time Governor Garner appointed Gray at the head of the
finance committee and Holderness of Edgecombe at the head of the Appropriations
committee, the same as two years ago. He placed Scales at the head of the
Judiciary No. 1 and Long of Halifax No. 2 Harding of Pitt takes the position of
Chairman of the Committee on Education.
In the House, Speaker Brummitt appointed Daughton of
Allegany Chairman of Finance, M.C. Cain of Vance on the Appropriations
committee and Bryant of Durham on the Committee of Education.
Harry Stubbs who feels exceedingly “Fluish” will dress
Bryant down on Tuesday and then go home.
