10 SEATE JURNAL
now been approved by the Supreme
Court of the United States and which
we can rely upon to be upheld by
the courts of our State and again
affirmed by the Supreme Court of
the United States. If this law is
not passed promptly there will be
thousands of homes and real estate
that will go under the hammer on
February 6. I beseech you gentle-
men in behalf of the people of
Texas to extend this relief now.
As an emergency measure I am
also attaching herewith a bill being
"An Act releasing all interest and
penalties on registration fees on mo-
tor vehicles for which a license fee is
due on or before January 31, 1934,
and extending the time of payment
of same until April 1, 1934."
If the three matters which I have
submitted are acted upon promptly
and with dispatch, it may be that
we will have opportunity to con-
sider other matters.
Respectfully,
MIRAM A. FERGUSON,
Governor of Texas.
