Neither senate nor house clock

have decided what they will do with
the motor license fee bill. the peni-
tentiary reorganization bill and the

The former appeared 10 be doomed
but efforts were being made to
reach agreements on the latter. with
indications that these forces may
take several hours.
Senator Stuart Of Fort Worth was
seeking 10 gain q concession to grant
the larger counties Of the state
100000 from the motor license fee
money. instead OF the $4,000 car
ried in the bill as ID passed the SEN
ate. Other senators were seeking TO
retain the terms of the bill AN Nc
passed the upper house while house
members were helding out for a
larger apportionment of license fee
money for county purposes. The
house members also sought an agree
ment that would guarantee the,
county more freedom in spending
money.
The penitentiary bill which is in
conference, was in little better po-
sition, the committee having agreed

proval of the governor, to sell them.
