 ,egulates tine employment of city of l flcials by public corporations was called 1 from the calendar at the afternoon ses-
 slon by a unanimous vote. The measure | provides that city attorney during hil i incumbency cannot accept employment
 with such corporations. but that rail | road attorney can be city attorney. The
 only change from the present law is to | forbid officers, aldermen and council
 men from accepting work with public corporations while they are in office. If the municipality sees fit, however, | to elect men to office who are already em- ployed by corporations, the law does not permit punishment.
 l Several weeks ago an attempt was made ! to repeal the present statutes forbidding
 such employment, but the bill was de- | layed for passage of the Crumpton meas
 ure. which is expected to avoid any sug- gestion of favoritism in the discharge of | municipal duties.

 was called for the afternoon session. The l calendar was immediately entered upon Senator Sherrod moving that the roll be l called for local bills. The motion was | carried, but was abandoned upon unani-
 nous consent of the senators. The fol
