TO VOTE
 ON AMENDMENT
 FOR DRAINAGE
November Election To De.
 eide Legislatures Power q To Form Districts
(State Capital Bureau.)

x MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 5.-A Constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to form, or provide for the Formation of drainage districts, and to provide for assessment of the cost of such drainage improvement against the land benefited, will, be voted on by the people of Alabama in the general election in November. Such amend ment will, if adopted, make it pos kible to remedy the situation created , ythe decision of the supreme court q few months ago, which held the 9fainage act of 1915 as amended in 1923, to be invalid.
 sl At the time of this decision, there were many expressions as to the need of remedying the situation and to fur ther the drainage of wet lands of the state. At least one member of the leg tglature wrote urging the call of a spe- ciai legislative session to submit a constitutional amendement to authorize establishment of drainage districts. It developed today that such an amend ment has already been submitted by the legislature of 1923, apparently es- caping such notice and will be voted on in the November election.
 The act submitting the amendment was introduced by Senator Craft, Of Mobile, approved September 26, 1923. The amendment to be voted upon is as follows:
 It will be noted that the provisions of the proposed amendment as to roads and seawall affects only two counties but the drainage provisions are general in nature. The supreme court declared the drainage act of 1915 to be- void be- cause the legislature sought to dele gate the taxing power to the drainage districts, when the constitution pro- hibited the delegation of power to tax other than municipal corporations. If the proposed amendment is adopted in November, the legislature will be em- powered to provide machinery for forming drainage districts and asses sing the cost of drainage work.
 The proposed amendment, if adopted, will be Article q of the constitution.
