ing to the Senate journal. The court
holds that the provision is wise one
and a safeguard and 1t cannot be ig-
nored even when a measure of import
ance and public interest is at stake.

thousand dollars available will be tied
up for the current two-year period un-
less the governor calls the Legislature
together in extraordinary session to
right the wrongs committed by that
