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.
