With the house facing a calendar containing 122 bills and the senate calendar containing 31. members of the legislature will return to Mont gomery Tuesday at noon for the twenty ninth session of the 5O-day session allotted by the legislature to term of 1923.
 The house calendar contained 55 pages last Friday, when the twenty eighth legislative session was held. The senate calendar contained only ten pages. Both houses disposed of large number of small measures. but favorable reports of commit tees proDao1y will retain the same number for consideration. Some of the bills still on the calendar are
 the same IS bills already passed and when the legislators find the time they will be indefinitely post poned. However, a large number still call for action.
 Revenue Bill Before Senate.
 The revenue bill passed by the house last Monday will be on the senate calendar for consideration and it is probable that it will be made a special order for passage at the session Tuesday afternoon. The sen- ate rules committee will hold a ses- sion shortly after the body is called together and will arrange the pro-
 gram of the business of the after noon.
 Governor Brandon has made many appeals for immediate consideration of the revenue bill and has an nounced that the budget commission | will be unable to make recommends
 tions regarding appropriations until it has some information about the
 revenue laws under which the state government will be expected to ob-
 tain the funds with which to meet
 the appropriations.
 When the lawmakers left the city
 Friday evening for the week end
 there was an indication that the farmer members desire to finish the
 work as early in September as pos sible so they may be at home dur l ing the next few weeks than has
 no greater progress is made dur in gthe next few weeks than has
 been made since the legislature be gun it's adjourned session July 10. the work will not be completed until
 late in September.
 To Consider Port BiIi.
 The house committee on rivers and harbors will give further considera- tion during the early part of the week to the port construction enab- ling act which was introduced in or der that the constitutional amend ment permitting the expenditure of state funds to the amount of S1O- l OO0,0O for the construction of port facilities might be made operative. Up to this time little opposition has been shown to the proposal. Governor Brandon has already sent one message to the lawmakers in which he appealed for early action so the state harbor commission may take up the preliminary work. He has indicated that he will do every thlng in his power to have the port construction work begun at once.
 Two administration revenue meas ures remain on the house calendar for consideration. One provides for the placing of licenses on certain to be supplemental to the present i license law, which probably, will re- {. main on the statute books. Only classes of business are included in the new bill on which the licenses | have been changed or where no liz censes have been collected in the past. The other bill provides for the licensing of automobiles and auto mobile dealers. No change is pro- posed in the license schedules by the amendment which was reported with the bill by the commit ttee on ways means and appropriations. When in troduced the bill provided for a gross revenue tax on the sale of ac- cessories, but this provision was eliminated by the committees amend ment.
 Although these bills are a part ot the revenue legislation, no effort has been made to have them approved | by the house. Administration forces desire to obtain the final action of the legislature on the main revenue bill before taking up the supplement tai measures
