HOUSE OVERRULES GOVERNORS VETO Pass Tallapoosa Bill By 59
 IO OZ DEBATE WAS LIVELY Several Spsakers Contended That Su- preme Court Is Proper Body To Pass on Constitutionality
 of Measure
By BERRYMAN G. BETTY

Montgomery, February 22.-(Speciai.)- Refusal of Governor O'Neal to sign Rep resentative Rylance's bill authorizing the county commissioners of Tallapoosa coun- ty to borrow s2OooO for public improve ments without an election was overriddep Tn the house today. when that body. by a vote of 59 to %. passed the measure over tile chief executives veto.
 The governor, in returning the bill to the house on yesterday without his ap- proval, stated that he considered the measure unconstitutional
 Mir Rylance this morning made mo- ton that the bill be passed notwithstand- ing the governors veto, stating that in doing so he was not actuated by any un- friendliness toward the chief executive, but that the bill had the approval of his constituents. and that he believed 1t would stand any test of constitutionality+ He declared that he had consulted sev- eral prominent constitutional lawyers on the subject and that the verdict of these had been in favor of the bill.
 Representative Rylance said that If the bill were not constitutional it would be the duty of the supreme court of the state to decide the matter; that inasmuch as the question admitted of doubt 1t was not the prerogative of the legislature to pass finally upon the issue.
 Representative Arnold, from Calhoun county, said he thought the matter was unconstitutional, and that the house shoud not put itself on record as favoring a bill of this nature. Mir Arnold read from several authorities which he had on his desk, and tried to show that the question had been decided by the courts. all of which, he declared, pointed to the fact that the bill was not constitutional.
