WHEREAS, The Honorable George W. Ball, who was an honored member of the Senate in the sessions of the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth General Assembly, has passed away since the last session of the General Assembly, and

WHEREAS, It is fitting that official cognizance of this sad event be taken by this body:
