Show Hinder , By Unrda McCarly Propects for an extra session of the Utah legislature loomed large last week-end when action on the all-embracing state government reorganization proposals of Governor Gov-ernor Herbert B. Maw was delayed delay-ed in both senate and the house of representatives. Senate action on the group of bills embodying the chief executive's execu-tive's proposals is waiting a "going-over" of the 39 introduced 0 reorganization measures by a leg al legislative expert. In the lower low-er house a committee on reorganization reorgan-ization Saturday postponed reporting re-porting out its single all-inclusive reorganization bill until sometime this week. With 34 days of the 60-day ses-ion ses-ion complete Saturday many legislators legis-lators expressed belief that enactment enact-ment of the governor's proposals into law cannot be accomplished in the remaining 26 days of the present session. They forsee an extra session immediately following follow-ing the current one to complete the job, or sometime during the summer. A later session would enable the legislators to pass on interim reorganization appointments appoint-ments made by the governor, providing pro-viding his proposals are adopted during the current session. An immediate extra session may be necessary to even place the reor ganization proposals on the statue books or to disaprove of them entirely or in part. Upper house salons last week introduced 34 bills in addition to the 39 reorganization measures. This makes a total of 240 bills introduced in-troduced up to Monday. One hundred hun-dred and fifty-three have been introduced in-troduced in the house, making a grand total of 393. The senate last week passed six measures and killed three.
