Annual NDY CAPP Sessions Is Coal WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 23.1«9 fllfjc 11 FREELV T'YER MISTER EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is Uw ninth of a series of brief stories analyzing the nliw amendments to the Texas Constitution which will be on (he ballot In the Aug. election. i constitutional amendment would provide for annual sessions of the Legislature, instead of every two years as now. This proposed constitutional amendment to Article III, Section 5, of the Texas Constitution adds a new paragraph to provide for the holding of regular sessions in even numbered years.

Present provisions prescribe that. regular sessions be held biennially in odd numbered years. Thus. the proposed amendment would institute annual sessions. The amendment provides that regular sessions in odd numbered years would retain the present split session concept whereby the first 30 day period of the session is set aside for the introduction of bills and the consideration of appointments and emergency a submitted by the governor, the second 30 day period is allocated to committee hearings, and the final 0 day period is used for action on bills and resolutions then pending.

Section 5 also retains the present provision allowing either house to determine its order of business by an affirmative vote of four fifths of its membership. The proposed amendment provides that regular sessions held in even numbered years shall not exceed 60 days in length and will be limited to legislation on the "subjects of providing funds for the support of activities of the state government and emergency matters submitted by the Governor in messages to the Legislature." The 1 proposed amendment also provides that, commencing in 1971, the legislature, at each regular session, must appropriate funds for the support of activities of the state government for the succeeding fiscal year. BACKGROUND -Historically, Texas has continuously operated under the biennial session system, supplemented with the special session called by the governor, except for the brief period of existence of the Constitution of 1869, wherein annual sessions of the legislature were required. ARGUMENTS FOR: 1. Economic and efficient state requires minimum time lag between the date budget estimates are actually prepared and the passage of an appropriation bill.

a agencies can prepare a more precise and practical budget which takes into consideration only those funding requirements for the succeeding fiscal year instead of incorporating the inadequate guesses of longer range planning. 2. The actual business of state has reached such proportions Uiat adequate supervision can no longer be given to the affairs of state by one legislative session every two years. More frequent legislative sessions would insure more considered legislation on budgetary and other matters since fewer items would be considered at each individual session and the legislature as a whole would be more in tune with the progress and activities of state government. 3.

Annual sessions continue to gain support; more and more states are abandoning the biennial session as inadequate to serve the legislative needs of a modern, progressive state. AGAINST: I. The added regular session is uneconomical in itself in that the cost of the additional session represents a significant increase in the cost of state government. 2. An additional session is unneeded because of the power of the governor to call a special session in the event that unforeseen circumstances require any new legislation prior to the succeeding regular session.

On the basis of existing programs, adequate information is available for budgeting over a biennium. New or changed programs of sufficient importance can be provided for by special session. 3. The increased frequency of regular sessions would make service in the legislature a full time job and even more economically unattractive than it is at the present time. Water Pressure Back To Normal Galveslon's water pressure is back to normal and the elevated tanks full, Col.

John Unverfcrth, city manager, said Tuesday. The rainfall that has hit the area over the past week has helped relieve the serious low water Unverferth said there is no need to request voluntary restriction of water use. People wishing to water grass or wash their automobiles may do so, he said. The American Navy custom of dropping wreaths into the sea to commemorate heroic happenings may have had its beginning in Ireland. II is an old Irish custom to pray for drowned fishermen and drop garlands of flowers into the water to drift out to sea.
