SECOND DRILL
39

Mr. G. I move to amend by inserting "and churches" after houses. [Seconded.]

Chairman. It is moved and seconded to amend the resolution by inserting the words "and churches" after the word "houses." Are you ready for the question? [No one rising, the chair continues:] As many as are in favor of the amendment say Aye. Those opposed say No. The ayes have it and the amendment is adopted. The question now is on the resolution as amended, which is "Resolved, That rural schoolhouses and churches should be used as social centers in so far as such use does not interfere with the uses for which they were designed."

Mr. H. I move to strike out the word "rural."

Chairman [the motion not being immediately seconded, asks]: Is the motion seconded ?

Member. I second the motion.

[Question is stated, vote taken, amendment adopted, and the chair announces the pending question on the resolution as amended which he repeats and then asks if the assembly is ready for the question. There being no response the chair continues:]

Chairman. The question is on the resolution, "Resolved, That schoolhouses and churches should be used as social centers in so far as such use does not interfere with the uses for which they were designed." As many as are in favor of the resolution say Aye. Those opposed say No. The ayes have it and the resolution is adopted.
