5 Under this provision the council retains its official character during special sessions. Some ill-feeling was engendered when the council presumed to continue its activities during the first special session of the present legislature.

6 Still further sub-committees have been created to study basic problems in state government and are not expected to report to the present legislature.

7 Reports from several other committees have been accepted by the council and their recommendations were before the legislature for consideration in the second special session, called for February 19.

8 This procedure, including the drafting of bills, has been followed uniformly by sub-committees and the council in submitting recommendations.

9 Serious differences arose over the composition of the liquor control commission. The council and the administration clashed on the issues involved in the governor's “insurrection” bond proposal, and the unwillingness of either to give way to the other defeated the measure in the first special session.
