 cry, Vim. King,
 So the substitute was adopted. The question then recurred upon the adop- tion of Section 52 as amended and the same was adopted.
 The Secretary read Section 53 as fol- lows:
 Sec. 3.The Legislature shall have no power to authorize any county, city, town or other subdivision of this State to lend its credit, or to grant public money or thing of value, in aid of or to any individual. association, or corpo- ration whatsoever, or to become a stockholder in any such corporation, association or company by issuing bonds or otherwise.
 MT. Oates-I move it's adoption. It is the same as in the phesent Constitut- ion.
 A vote being taken, Section 5S was adopted.
 The Secertary read Section 54 as fol- lows:
 Sec 54. There can be no law of this State impairing the obligations of con- tracts by destroying or impairing the remedy for their enforcement; and the legislature shall have no power to re- vive any right or remedy which may have become barred by lapse of time, or by any statute of this State.
 MT. Oates-There is no change in that section except in the number. It is as in the present Constitution, and 1 move it's adoption.
 A vote being taken. the section was adopted.
 The Secretary read Section 55 as fol- lows: Sec. 55 The legislature shall not en- act any law for one or more counties not applicable to all the counties Ill the State increasing the uniform charge for the registration of deeds and con- veyances or regulating costs and charges of courts, or fees, commissions or allowances of public officers.
 Mir. Oates-Mr. President, l think that the sense of that section which is new would be greatly improved by amend HE IL III lHG llISI 1lISg anu uldhG that motion After the word law to counties" and in the second line after the word State" strike out the words increasing the uniform charge for the registra ton of deeds"
 The President pro tem-The gentle man from Montgomery is requested to reduce the amendment to writing.
 MT. Weatherly-Is not that section covered by provision in the ordinance reported by the Committee on Local Legislation.
 MT. Oates-I don't know, 1 am not sure. l scarcely think 1t is.
 MT. Weatherly-I am under the i'm pression that it is. and if it is I don't see the necessity for this provision.
 Mir Oates-That is striking it out by guess. Have you the section?
 MT Weatherly-I have not. I thought you were familiar with it.
 MT Oates-I am not familiar enough to say, we have adopted so many I can't say.
 MT. Walker (MadisOn)-The 18th sec ton on Article of Local Legislation provides against any special or local act creating. increasing or decreasing the fees. percentage. or allowance of public officers
 MT. WeatAerly-That is the one | refer to.
 Mir Watts-The article adopted nv the Committee on Local Legislation does not prescribe as much.
