Folsom Calls Legislature to Extra Session Next Wednesday
MONTGOMERY AP The Legislature went to the end of a special session today and Gov. James E. Folsom promptly called another session for next Wednesday. Both chambers struggled to muster a quorum and were over an hour behind schedule. The Senate, when in session, approved bills on ballot law and voter registry, completed non controversial measures, and addressed absentee voting for hospitalized veterans and wives of servicemen abroad. The House approved a measure to raise the pension for two surviving Confederate veterans from 150 to 900 dollars. Folsom warned he would call another extraordinary session if a reapportionment bill was not passed. He said he would use his power to keep the Legislature in session until proper reapportionment is completed.
