Objecting t<> the mortgage idea,
the ybouae dertiantled that a new
conference committee be appointed
to work out u Oompromlse. The
Vote rejecting the senate plat) was
6i-47. I jl.
On the big problem of Ntate
spending, the two houses out-
wardlji reached agreement. The
senate approved 24-7, a house-
passed resolution urging heavy
cutting of the big money bills
essential to operation of the
state government the next two
years.
However, , fhe ; senate turned
thumbs dowd on a part, of the res
olution which suggested elimina
tion of a building program for
Eleemosynary; Institutions unless
Gov. Beauford H- Jester offered a
practical financing plan.
The senate approved a resolu
tion to end the regular session of
the 51st Legislature at noon June
28. Both houses must agree before
such action can be taken, but/ it
appeared likely j the lower hduse
would agree.
The Legislature took off for
another long weekend, quitting un
til Monday mprhing.
Some senators who voted, for
the House Economy Resolution,
said the house was bluffing and
trying to put the senate on the
spot when it suggested cutting
approprlatioh/hills 4.'i million
dollars.
So the sdnato called the bluff—

Land Board will be the moans! Of
making tha dieam of thousunda nf
Texas Veteran* for a farm or
ranch horn* of their very own,
coma true.
’ One of the mo*t attractive fea
tures of this bill I* that scctjhn
which permits a veteran to person
ally select a tract of land suitable
for agriculture or grating held
under private- ownership in any
sector of 4he‘'State. It -might! he
owned by kinsmen or by a corpcpta-
tion—it matters not to the Board.
What will matter to the Board
will be that the veteran feels rea
sonably sure that it will serve his
purpose and needs; that it niust
have at least half of the mineral
rights unencumbered and thatlthe
land is worth the asking price;
After the veteran has made his
selection his next step will be to
furnish the Board with a complete
abstract, and description of the
property so that it may be > ap
praised. At the same time he files
his application with the Board, he
will pay to the Board his limtial
down payment 1 of NOT less than
five per cent of the total purchase
price. In the event the application
is rejected the veteran’s money will
be refunded and he will be free to
make another selection.
After the Board has appraised
the land and approved the appli
cation for the loan for the balance,
the applicant will he required to
execute an on or before note for
forty years *t three pet cent in
terest for the balance.' After re
ceiving his contract of sale he will
be entitled to take possession.
