Division on Forest Bill Tested by House Committee
The House Committee on the Judiciary has not reached a decision on the Appala National Forest Bill though reports earlier claimed it would be unconstitutional. Judge Jenks filed an unfavorable report while Littlefield and Brantley submitted reports supporting limited or constitutional land acquisition under the bill. The committee will review these today before deciding. Also a resolution to raise salaries for forty House employees, including clerks and messengers, was introduced by Rep. O'Connell and adopted.
