| The speaker presented commune
cation from DR.. Denton, superinten-
dent of the ins me asylum, requesting
the appointment by the house of n
committee TO act with n like commit
tee from the senate, to visit and in
spect the asylum and inmates, and
note the improvements made during
the present administration.
4 Frymier of Houston moved that the
communication DO recorded and the
committee be appointed.
Cochran of Dallas thought the com
munication should go to the reg
ular committees. He saw nc
necessity for the appointment Of
special committee. He offered @
substitute, referring the communica'
tion promptly TO the committee on
public buildings and grounds and on
asylums.
Frymier of Houston hoped the sub
slitute would not prevail. The jour
mails will not show that the committee
on public buildings ever had anything
TO do with the asylums; ut least not
during his Legislative career. He
stated that he understood that the
senate had already appointed com
/ mittee for this purpose, watch Is ready
10 act, and he hoped the house would
appoint committee to act with them.
Ayres of BraZos thought the subs,i-
tute a very proper one. The presunlp-
ton Is that the standing committees
I know their business, and IL seemed II
/ little curious that request like this
I should he made. II may not lie in
1 tended as refl,c elton up II the standing
! committees, but ii there Is any reason
( why the committees cannot be relied
upon to do their duty, il has not been
( made known. The motion OF Mr..
1 Cochran prevailed.
The bill Introduced by Foster of
I Graysou, providing for the sale of real
estate bought in by the state for taxes,
I came up in regular order.
4 Frymier Of Houston said that as the
time Tor taking MP the bill, which was
made the special order Tor II O'Clock,

mittee amendments 10 this bill hau
not been printed, he thought II better
10 postpone until the amendments APP
