bill came up in the senate this morn
ing Senator Thomas asked that i
still retain its place on the calendar
asserting that his statement Saturday
that a new bill proposing double
consolidation of state institution was
made in good faith and he desired an
other day to complete the BILL Elliott
and Rockwell wanted to know wheth-
er the new bill was substitute to 81
or whether it was a separate meas
ure. No definite explanation was forth
coming, but the motion carried that
bill 81 retain it's place on the cal
endar. 1t is not believed that the
double consolidation plan can be
worked out and it is thought that bill
67 will finally pass with some definite
statements placing moral obligation
on the southeast that it can go no
further in it's provisions for the fu-
ture
