Mr. President:

Your committee of the whole to whom were referred the majority and minority reports on the amendments to File 76, beg leave to report with the following recommendations:

Your committee further recommends the reconsideration of the vote adopting the majority report of Committee No. 6, also that the additional three representatives be apportioned to Converse, Johnson and Sheridan counties, and that File No. 76, as amended, be adopted.
