TEXAS LEGISLATURE.
ny tho United Press.
AUSTIN. Jan. 30. After spending
a week devoted largely to committee
work tho Legislature Monday will be-
gin all-day sessions. The Senato
probably will also postpone the con-
sideration of appropriations. Prob-
ably the most important that wilt be
considered are the labor education in
surance court reform and may be re-
disricting bills and these may know
their fato within another week.
Governor Ferguson was a spectator
In the House this afternoon. There is
the friendliest feeling between the
Legislature and tho Governor.
Chairman Reeves of the House Li-
quor Committee said that the com-
mittee would not hold a meeting the
entire session unless the House by
resolution specifically directs the
committer to nronose legislation. Thus
far tboro Is not tho slightest Indica
tion of any prohibition activity.

SECTION OF THE
CITY'S CHARTER
SECTION 67 COVERING CITY
SCHOOL TAXES MAY GET
AN AMENDMENT.
Tho featuro of tho mcetlnc of tho
city commission Thursday afternoon
was u resolution introduced by City
Attorney H. N. Hickman.
The city attorney presented a res
olutlon calling for a proposed amend
ment to bo submitted to the Legisla
ture asking that Sec. 57 of tho Char
ter bo amended with reference to tho
levy of taxes for tho support and
maintenance of the public schools In
the City.
Under the present wording of Sec
f7. In the opinion of tho city attorney
fliioum tue city at any time in the fu
turo vote a bond issue for tho pur
pose of school houte building tho In-
terest and sinking fund on the bonds
would have (o bo provided for out of
tho 50 cents set aside for support and
maintenance. There was an error In
the wording of tho Charter as orlir
Inally drawn in Sec. 57 and It la for
tho purpose of correcting this mistake
that the amendment will bo intro-
duced. The amendment will not affect the
amount of taxes for school purposes
as they now exist but Us purpose is
to obyiate a legal complication should
the City at any time by a vote of the
people decide to issue bonds for
school buildings which might arise
by virtue of the wording of the sec-
tion mentioned.
An ordinance authorizing the mayor
to execute the new contract with the
Abilene Gas & Electric company cov-
ering the changing of the lights In
the resldece section of the city -passed
its first reading. One more read-
ing will be necessary for the final
passage of the ordinance.
The annual report of the Abilene
Street Hallway company covering the
earnings and expenditures for the
year 1914 was filed with the secre
tary.
Commissioner Ferguson reported
the purchase of two mules to be
used in street work an order for
which was issued by the commUJion
some weeks ago.
Germany Schaefer recently turned
loose by Washington was approach-
ed recently by Charlie Weeghman of
the Chicago Federal Club who asked
the Commedlan bow much he wanted
to sign a contract. "A two-year con-
tract calling for $6000 per year."
"Why. that's a lot of money" auB-
wored Weegham. "You are getting
old and going back."
"I'll admit that Charley " said
Schaefer "but you know I'm awful
funny."
