The Session of 9920 was distinguished by more than usual activity
in legislation, but was remarkable more particularly for a general par-
ticipation of the individual members in the work of the House and for
the co-operation of the various groups in the discussion and perfecting
of several important measures, to an extent perhaps never preyipusly
witnessed in a Canadian Legislature.
The result is the placing,upon the Statute Book of several Acts
of great practical value to the people of the Province. If the Session
was loafer than usual, the additional time devoted to disposing of
Bills was well spent, and the membe(s, who suffered inconvenience
front being forced to neglect their ordinary -vocations have at least
the satisfaction of knowing that the usual period was not prolonged
for the purpose of discussing scandals or investigating charges against
public igen, but, in order thatanAssembly so largely composed of new
and inexperienced nlenhbers plight properly consider and digest the
various legislative proposals put before then!.
The following paragraphs deal with the more important of the
measures enacted during the Session. s
.ELECTION LAWS.—The experience of the last general election
proved that the election laws were in a thoroughly unsatisfactory
state. The system of enumeration under which the lists were pre-
pared was enormously expensive, ant the direction of the work by
chief enumerators who were the nominees of the sitting member or
defeated candidate at the last election, supporting the Government of
the day, together with the nomination of their assistants by patron-
age committees, was not calculated to inspire confidence, i'h the fair-
ness and iilipartiality with which the work would 11e d- nc. After
mature deliberation and with the co-operation of alt parties of the
House, a. return has been made to the system in 'vogue before the
