Most of the 30-minute, July Fourth holiday meeting was devoted to exchanges of com pliments for hard work and co operation from both sides working out a compromise bill within available fund limitations set by the comptroller for general revenue spending. "It's a certifiable bill," Lt. Gov.

Ben Barnes said of the $856.3 million in general revenue funding agreed on by the five senators and five represen tatives adjusting differences between House and Senate versions of the bill. Barnes said he hoped the legislature would be able to take a final vote on the bill Thursday, but Speaker Rayford Price opted for Friday in predicting a vote on the bill. Sen. A. M.

Aikin, head of the Senate confereees, called it a 'reasonably good bill." Barnes went a step further, calling it a "good bill one I think we can be proud of for what it's done for health and education." Speaker Price said he was proud of the appropriations 'being done out in the open" where the people of Texas saw it being worked out. Sen. A. E. Schwartz added to that note, saying that working under the new joint rules "there has been no great disaster we sat here and worked this thing out." Barnes took particular note of the atmosphere of cordiality between the two houses in coming up with an agreed bill.

In the past these meetings haven't ended in a love-in," he said.
