NEW COURT MAY
MOI FUNCTION
UNTIL OCTOBER
Creative Bill Did Not Garry
the Emergency
Clause.
NO APPOINTMENT MADE
Governor May Not Select
Judge Until Late in
June, if Then.
NO APPOINTMENT MADE

No Judge for the Ninety-fourth
District Court created by the legiSla-
turc recently will be appointed until
the fall term of court and the court
will not function until then. This
was the concensuS of opinion among
court house officials Friday and was
supported BY advices received from
Austin. Failure of the governor to
appoint the new judge and the specu-
lation which followed, led to an in
vestigation into the matter which
brought forth the above opinion.
The bill creating the court was
vetoed by Governor Neff. Ii was then
brought up again and passed over
his veto, the records show. 1t car
ried the emergency clause. 1t is
pointed out. however. that for the
emergency clause to become effective.
the bill must have been passed by n
two-thirdS vote Of the elected members
of the legislature.
Ii is claimed that the bill was pass
ed by a two-thirds vote of those pres
ent. but not a two-thirds vote of the
elected membership of the legislature,
as many members were absent at the
time.
Emergency Clause Fails
In view of this fact, it is contend
ed that the emergency clause attached
to the bill did not have any effect.
As a result the bill could not become
a law until 30 days after adjourn
ment, as provided by law, which would
make it effective on June II.
The law provides that the regular
term of the district courts in BcXar
county shall close on July .. There
fore if Governor Neff appoints judge
for the Ninety-fourth court on June
u. when it legally comes into exist
encc. he would have less than a month
to serve before court adjourES for the
regular term. 1t would not reconvene
until October.
In view of the short time which he
would have To serve. therefore. it is
generally believed that Governor Ncff
will not make his appointment of a
judge until fall.
Looks Like McCrOry.
No preparations so far have been
made to take care of the new court
here although the county commission
ers some time ago discussed the pos
Sibility of using a room on tho third
floor Of the courthouse adjoining the
district attorneys office. This room
could be fitted up at nominal eX-
pcnse and could be made to serve the
purpose.
Discussion regarding the identity Of
the man to he selected by Governor
Ncff TO preside over thc new court
has practically ceased. 1t was gencr.
ally believed. however. that W. w.
McCrory Of San Antonio would be the
choice.
