Considerable dissatisfaction among (
W, "rural members of the House greeted the
announcement of the proposed recess,
'tut they made no outbreak on the
floor. The plans for the recess wen
evolved at a conference yesterday of
state leaders with Senator Penrose, in
this city.
Incidentally, the recess will drtaj
action on the charter bills and other
Tbiladelpbia reform legislation.
Coernor Recuperating
Governor Sproul is recuperating
in,
Hot Springs, Va., from a severe at
'Uck of rheumatism. His pbxsician
has ordered him to lake a complete
rest for two weeks,. His condition is
reported by hi3 bceretnr.x, Harry S.
McDevitt, to be improved.
A number of the members protested
to Senator William H. Crow, fctate
chairman, about the piopc-cd recess
resolution. Sexeral state leaders aie
said to be planning to i-it the Gov
ernor next week to confer on important
legislation.
headers declare the recess will not
delay the final adjournment of the
House more than one week. The date
had been tentatixclj set for Jlny !.'.
Opponents of charter revision as out
lined in the AVoodwnid bills are quietly
preparing for the attack that will be
staged Thursda afternoon in Conn
cils' finance chamber before the Senate
committee on municipal affairs, of winch
Senator Vare is chairman.
Reduction Opposed
City officials, if present plans
n'C
carried out, will figuic largely as foes
to the measure. 15oth branches of

revision plans is not looked for until
jthe latter part of the present month or
