Mr. Bowie, from the Committee on Internal Improvements,

Mr. Trail submitted the following
REPORT:

The undersigned, & minority of the Select Committee, to
which was referred a bill relating to the election of Mayor
and City Council in Baltimore, and which was on yesterday
reported favorably to the Senate by the majority of said Com-
mittee, dissents from said favorable report, because it is in
substance identical with a bill heretofore at this session pass-

again the same session. This being a point of order which
excludes further consideration of the bill, the undersigned
deems it unnecessary to set forth the manifold objections he

Resp'y submitted,
CHAS. E. TRAIL,

Minority of the Committee.
