Proposing an amendment to the
Constitution of the State of Texas
by adding a new Section to be
known as Section 48-b, authorizing
the Legislature to provide for the
establishment of health units, and
authorizing a tax in support there-
of.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEG-
ISLATURE OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS:
Section 1. That the Constitution
of the State of Texas be and the
same is hereby amended, by add-
ing a new Section to Article III
of said Constitution to be desig-
nated Section 48-b, reading as fol-
lows:
“Section 48-b. The Legislature
shall have the authority to provide
for the organization of county-city
health units and the operation
thereof and to authorize counties
and cities to provide a tax of not
to exceed twenty cents (20c) on
the One Hundred Dollar ($100)
valuation of taxable property in
counties and cities for the purpose
of financing the said county-city
health units; provided that no such
tax shall be authorized except by
a vote of the people residing in
the city or county in which said
tax shall apply. The foregoing
tax shall be levied only on county
valuations.”

♦ from the point of the disputed ac-
tion.
The argument arose when R. &
B. had a runner going from second
to third, and a thrown ball struck
him and rolled into the third-base
coaching box. The runner raced on
home, while the Hot Shots pro-
tested that R. & B.’s third-base
coach interferred with the fielding
of the ball.
In last Thursday night’s games,
Gulf won opening playoff series by
blanking Stanolind 4 to 0. Gulf
won the series opener 6 to 0, and
Martin pitched both shutouts.
In the other Thursday contest,
Richardson & Bass drubbed the
Hot Shots 11 to 0, behind the tight
hurling of Brock.
If R. & B. wins tonight’s re-play,
the club will then battle Gulf in
the final Shaughnessy playoff
series for the championship. If the
Hot Shots win tonight, however,
the two teams will have to play
again in order to determine Gulf’s
final opponent.

Lubbock, Aug. 15. — Football
players of Texas Technological
college, seeking their ninth Border
conference championship and the
third in succession this fall, will
report for the start of practice
September 1.
Coach Dell Morgan and his aides
expect a rough fall, with one of
the roughest schedules ahead
which could be planned. Four
Southwest conference opponents,
five of the Border conference and
Tulsa of the Missouri Valley circuit
will be faced.
Twenty-five lettermen will be
back, along with several likely
transfers and many promising
sophomores. But nine key letter-
men have been lost from the 1948
champions and coaches see diffi-
culty molding a winning team.
Big Don Williams, letterman
tackle, has been shifted to guard
to fill a major vacancy. With sev-
eral good fullbacks, it is expected
a shift or two from that post to
right halfback will be made to
correct another deficiency.
Three ends graduated, but re-
placements are seen in Dick and
Hugh Jackson, brothers from
