He im- pressed upon his hearers that the bill carried no additional appropriation and that it tscouid not embarrass the treas- ury becausef the Governor was given ample discretion. under the terms of the bill
 If the money was made immediately available the school. could make better new buildings Any Senator who re- fiected that providing additional facil- ities at once would mean the education of 800 Alabama girls. could not oppose the bill.
 Senator Moody. as d strong friend of the school, supported the measure. He knew personally of the cramped condi- tions of the school. The bill would go far towards removing those conditions The Legislature by the passage of the bill would afford facilities for educa- tion for hundreds of Alabama girls.
 When the vote was taken President Pro Tem Thomas announced that the bill had fails4sto secure the necessary two-thirds vote and was therefore lost.
