The following communication from the Governor, written upon society note paper, was read: To the Honorable Joseph A. Akina, Speaker of the House of Representatives: Sir: The Resolution of the House requesting an extension of the present legislative session for an additional period of thirty days, on the ground of unfinished legislation, has been received from your Special Committee. The conduct of the present session of the Legislature offers no assurance, so far, that such extension would tend to promote the interests of the Territory, but raises in my mind strong doubts to the contrary. I have recently refused a request from the Senate for an extension of the session---such request being based upon similar grounds to those expressed from the House Resolution. I find no reason now for coming to a different conclusion. Very respectfully yours, Sans Souci, 27 April, 1901. SANFORD B. DOLE. RESOLUTIONS.
