Adjournment of the special session

agreed to end the six-day session at

Principal measures were two PWA

State to issue $4,62OOOO in bonds and
to apply to the PWA for funds for a
$8,245,O1O building program at State
institutions. The other permits coun-
ties and municipalities and sanitary
districts to issue bonds for self-liqui-

The session called by Governor
