TO THE HON. SHELBY M. CULLOM,

Speaker of the House of Representatives:

SIR: I respectfully return to the House of Representatives House bill, No. 828, entitled "An act to amend an act in regard to gateways, roads and bridges in counties not under township organization," without my approval, for the reason, in my opinion, that section 2 of said act is in violation of the spirit of section 32, art. 4 of the constitution, which provides that the General Assembly shall pass liberal homestead and exemption laws; and would be oppressive to a large part of the citizens of the State, whose rights the constitution was framed to protect. Very respectfully submitted.

JOHN L. BEVERIDGE,

Governor.

On motion of Mr. Westfall,

The Senate concurrent resolutions in relation to the freight and passenger traffic on the Union Pacific railroad and branches, were taken up and concurred in.

Mr. Hildrup moved that a committee of three be appointed to wait upon the Governor and ascertain whether he has any further communications to make to the House; which was agreed to.

The Speaker announced as such committee, Messrs. Hildrup, Orendorff and Darnell.

Mr. Hildrup, from said committee, reported that they had waited upon the Governor and ascertained that he had no further communications to make to the House.

Mr. Ferrier, at 11:35 o'clock A. M., moved that the House adjourn; which was agreed to.

And, in pursuance of a joint resolution previously adopted, the Speaker declared the House adjourned, sine die.

INDEX.
