THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Sherbow.
DELEGATE SHERBOW: Mr. Presi-
dent, the Committee on State Finance and
Taxation will hear tomorrow the visitors
on the subject of lottery.
Thereafter each day we are setting down
three, four, five, six, and some days seven
and eight proposals. We want to assure all
those who have introduced these proposals
that they will be given all the time they
need. But we find by reason of cancella-
tions and other events that occur that the
only way we can clean up our docket is to
put them in and hope they will come over
and discuss these proposals so that we can
act on them.

tion session that afternoon, is the shared
powers-expressed powers concepts, limita-
tions on legislative power, particularly

tionship of the General Assembly to coun-
ties and cities, and other similar matters.
