Bill Introduced For Providing For the Ten Changes In Constitution
In Atlanta on November 25 Senator Bell introduced a Senate bill to amend the constitution by ten changes, the key item to divide the school fund between whites and blacks in proportion to the taxes paid.

The House accepted Senate amendments to the Wright dispensery bill except Ellis Bibb’s provision that exemptions apply to counties with special acts. Felder Bibb gave notice of reconsideration, potentially leading to a conference committee if not withdrawn.
