GENERAL AND SPECIAL LAWS. 111
sufficient in extent and satisfactorily located, in the judgment of
said Commission, for the use of the people of Texas for camping
accomodations and for park purposes.
The State Highway Commission shall be authorized to utilize
State convicts in the construction of said Highway, if in their
opinion such use is practicable and will reduce the cost of construction.
SEC. 2. There is hereby appropriated out of the State
r Highway Fund, to be immediately available, the sum of
o seven thousand five hundred ($7,500.00) dollars, or so
much thereof as may be necessary to cover the expense of
;> making the survey and investigations provided for by this
Act.
SEC. 3. The fact that the survey and construction of the
Davis Mountains State Park Highway herein provided for would
provide in Texas a State Park and recreation ground for the convenient
use of all the people of Texas, substantially one mile in
altitude, with a summer climate as good as the best in the world
and abounding in the most beautiful mountain scenery, at a
very reasonable cost, creates an emergency and an imperative
public necessity that the constitutional rule requiring bills to
be read on three several days in each House be suspended, and
said rule is hereby suspended, and that this Act shall take effect
and be in force from and after its passage, and it is so enacted.
Approved June 9, 1927.
Effective 90 days after adjournment.
[NOTE: S. B. No. 15 passed the Senate by a viva voce vote;
passed the House 65 ayes; 43 nays.]
[NOTE: The Governor vetoed the item of appropriation in
the above act, in the following language: "June 9, 1927 approved-except
as to appropriation item which is vetoed for
the reason that the Highway Commission has authority to make
survey under existing law without this appropriation-as stated
in proclamation.
