LEGISLATURE
To MEET ON
WEDNESDAY

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 7. U.P)-
The state legislature will convene
in special session here next We'd
nesday, September IL, to consider
unemployment, tax and mortgage
foreclosure relief measures.
Gov. Frank F. Merriam said he
probably would issue the formal
proclamation later today and that
the session would convene at noon
Wednesday unless something i'm
portant should develop meanwhile
to necessitate change.
In addition to the three major
proposals, Merriam said he prob
ably would include the valuation
of bonds of the Palo Verde Irriga-
ton District in Riverside county.
This would be merely technical
matter.
Since the governor disclosed ne
would call special session, he has
received numerous requests to in
clude various other measures, but
he said the session would be con-
fined to those mentioned. Other
wise, it might extend two or three
weeks.
There was strong possibility
that the legislature would wind up
its necessary duties by the end Of
next week.
OF primary Importance will be
a proposal for a $24,000,0O0 bond
issue for unemployment relief,
This amount is needed, Merriam
said, to balance federal appropri-
ations necessary to aid the unem-
ployed during the fall, winter and
spring If adopted by the legisla-
ture, the proposal will be placed on
the November ballot.
Mechanics of the bond issue,
proposed relief measures for de-
linquent taxpayers, and a definite
mortgage foreclosure moratorium
will be left to the legislature.
Leaders among the lawmakers have
been working on the proposals Tor
several days, and if detailed plans
are prepared the special session
should last no more than a day or
two.
The legislature must confine its
official activities to the subjects
mentioned in the proclamation. In
a special session, the governor is
empowered to say just what may
be considered 6
