REGULATE Public Utilities.

Baton Rouge - A heavy calender
fronts the Constitutional Convention
when it reconyenes. Ninety-four or
dinances have been introduced and
referred to proper committees. When
the standing committees were an
nounced, these subdivisions Of the
convention had their hands full. Pub
lie hearings will follow each other in
rapid order when the committees get
into action.
Another food of ordinances dealing
with taxation, retrenchment and re-
duction Of public expenditures, which
top the list of big issues before the
convention, is expected. Among the
ordinances looked for are those COW
sring the program OF the State Texa-
tion Commission.
Next in important ordinances due
TO be introduced are those relating to
reorganization of the judiciary sys-
tenn. Embraced in this list is the

for safeguarding the states natural
resources. Conferences on this sub
iacf ara IN ha held
Regulation of public utilities, in
Guiding railroads and public service
