A bill has been introduced in the
house providing for the raising of the
bonding limit of independent school
districts from six to eight per cent.
Many appeals have come from various
parts of the state for a measure of

ing.
A gasoline measure which provides

other combustible liquids take out
license costing 500 per year and re-
tail dealers $50 license, requiring the

appointed and have offices in the de-
partment of law enforcement. The
object, as expressed in the bill, is to
do away with the showing of all OBJ
scene, immoral and cruel pictures. 1t

normal is too great on the taxpayers
and provides for closing the school

the measure read as follows:
Senate bill No. 81, by state affairs
mmittee-Abolishing the normal
school, dissolving its board of trustees
of,on inn n a in
specified duties, the trusteeship of the
Estate board of education with respect
to such institution.
Whereas experience in its conduct
for many years has demonstrated that
the cost of educating the small number
of pupils in attendance at the Albion
normal school is and will continue tc
be so excessive as to impose an un-
necessary burden upon the taxpayers
of the state. without sufficient com
pensatory advantages either to such
pupils or the state, therefore be it en-
acted by the state legislature. that
1.-THE Albion normal school is hereby
abolished, the board of trustees Thereof
is hereby dissolved and, except as tt
certain duties hereinafter specified,

leducation with respect thereto is here
