EXTRA SESSION
DECISION WAITS
Dorsey Wants to Know
First What Assembly
Really Did.

ATLANTA, Aug. 13.-Whether
there will be a special session of the
legislature to make appropriations
for vital needs of the state institu-
tions and to perform work the regu-
lar session did not complete can not
be known for several days.
The governor says it will be inn
possible for him to say whether he
will call a special session until he has
had time to consider fully what was
done and what was left undone.
1t is stated that many factors must
be taken into consideration, also for
example whether a special session of
the legislature called in the midst of
a political campaign could be expect
ed to accomplish anything.
Important general bills passed by
the assembly at the 1920 session are
as follows:
Amendments to the banking act Of
1919, otherwise known as the bank
ers' act"
Securities commission act, some
times called the new "blue sky law.
Amendment to act of 1910, called
the university trustees act. The
amendment removes the three desig-
mated members of the general board
from the board of the Georgia Nor
NAL and Industrial College at Mil
ledgeville.
Amendment to the warehouse act
of 1918 so as to make it effective by
naming the state superintendent OF
markets as warehouse commissioner.
Puke paint law.
Amendments to the act regulating
emigrant agents in Georgia, 80 as to
give the commissioner of commerce
and labor more authority.
Uniform cotton grading act en-
forcing the United States standard
of cotton grading.
Act to submit to the people M
crease in salary for justices of the
supreme court, court of appeals, and
superior court judges. Review court
Judges are raised from $4,000 to
$1,000 per annum; Superior court
judges from $4,000 20 $4,000.
Acts creating new counties of
Long, Brantley, Seminole and La
mar.

added pensioners on roll, under SER
vice pension act.
