Texas House Bills Advance In Morning Session
In Austin on May 6 the House spent the morning on the general appropriation bill. North Texas normal institute received its appropriations unchanged, while an amendment added 1000 for repairs to the southwest Texas normal institute and 1360 for repairs to the girls industrial school. The proposed salary cut for the girls industrial school superintendent failed in a heated vote. The governor submitted two new items: creation of the Sixty third district and making Jacksonville an independent school district. The Senate devoted the morning to a state banking bill, with amendments for bank examiner appointment, bond liability for inspectors, and treating trust companies as single-location operations.
