W e would recommend that the committee he continued 
and enlarged so as to make it representative of a num¬

mittee having power to delegate to a small legislative 
committee or sub-committee the particular duty of pre¬ 
senting the matter in the Assembly. In the mean¬ 
time it seems desirable that addititional endorsements, 
resolutions of societies, and such other support as may 
be secured, should be brought into shape to use at the 
proper time.
