Run of bills loom large as Texas Legislature nears adjournment
Austin March 17 The Thirty fifth Legislature heads toward adjournment next Wednesday with hundreds of bills slated to die on the calendar despite rapid Senate action and widespread commitment to finalizing measures. Key items include confirmations for university regents, a $700 000 penitentiary debt appropriation, a Sherman junior college bill, a 8 hour police workday law, and new education commissioner. The House moves on most bills by unanimous consent and a slate of tax and libel bills await House action. Nueces County tax exemption to build a seawall around Corpus Christi is also advanced.
