 The proclamation is of unusual length and fin 1t the Governor takes occasion to make many pertinent ref erences. and to slyly commend the Legislature for it's enactments. In this connection he says:

SENATE Acfs ON MEASURE

Having practically killed the Monte vaiio school bill at the morning ses- sion yesterday. the Senate changed it's brought 1t back to life.
 The bill failed at the morning session because 1t did not get the necessary two-thirds vote. the subj jsct not being named In the call Of the Governor The vote was IS ayes and f2 nays.
 In other words a majority of the members of the Senate wanted the bill to pass on its merits. but unfortunate, " il was handicapped by the need of
 But there was surprising change among the opposition Senators during the lunch hour. It was gossfped around that although the Governor had not named the subject in his call, he was nevertheless in favor of the measure. Nothing of this. however, appeared dur ing the discussion on the floor.
 But there were so many changes dur. ing the lunch hour that the bill passed. practtcally without opposition.

 The present bill simply provides that the three remaining allotments of the appropriations should be available at once for the bsnefit of the building fund of the schobl-
 The Governor is given discretion in this matter, however. The money is not to be paid out until he thinks the treasury is able to stand the draft.
 The single purpose of the bill is to complete the new building at Monte vallo at the earliest possible moment.
 It was pointed out by Mir. Doster that hundreds of Alabama girls were now turned away each year from Mon- tevallo becauseS the accommodation are insufficient, He was firmly qf the opinion that the bill would. mean the education of 300 or 400 Alabama girls, without additional expense.
 @A SBad Precedent"
 Senator McWhorter was opposed to the bill. Not Athat he did not Nendorse the school and it's work, for he did, but he thought the bill bad prece- dent. Other educational institutions had been given large approximations like Montevailo and like MontevalIo, would want the money immediately.
 One feature of the bill had the op-' position of Senator Barbour. but he. proposed to support the measure. He opposed the feature of the bill which gave all the discretion to the Governor He thought too much was being put up to the Governor. The Legislature knew the. condition of the treasury. There was no need to leave 1t entirely with the Governor.
