halls within one mile Of a state edu-
eatIonal institution attended BY boys;

oifense. and the Jones bill authorizing
county commissioners to sell real es-
tate belonging to the county.
In the case of the Rogers bill the
governor accepted the opinion Of the
attorney general that the lack OF an
enacting clause was disapproved be-
cause the governor considered II
bad precedent to establish to permit
a general bin to be passed to benefit
one county.
