Adverse Report on Alamo Bill in Texas Legislature
In Austin on February 6 the House committee on parks and public buildings reported adversely on the bill to place Alamo jurisdiction with the superintendent of public buildings and grounds. A favorable minority report was filed by Watson of Hays. The Daughters of the Republic may gain control if a prior report stands. Senator Carter introduced in the Senate a joint resolution for a constitutional amendment to set straight salaries for all state and county officers and to cap terms at four years with no immediate reelection. The measure would be put to voters in November 1914 and carries a $5000 appropriation for election costs. The MecNealus anti stream pollution bill remains under recommitment as concerns over shape linger. House committee chair Fountain noted dissatisfaction with the bill, with hearings held for supporters and opponents. Senator McNealus pursues final action in this session. A UT Austin anti fraternities bill by Rep Harris will be discussed next Monday before criminal jurisprudence. university leaders anticipate strong opposition but Harris vows to push it. No anti-frat bill has yet cleared the Senate. After hours of fee-bill debate, Senate committees consider substitutes.
