Maw signed the proclamation calling the special session Saturday afternoon. nell amendment one of the most The governor is asking the legislature to act on four proposed amendments to the Utah state constitution. Three of the amendments are designed to allow the legislature to change the methods of financing the states school system and to expand the present tax laws to include mineral and oil deposits. These amendments were recommended by the Utah legislative tax study committee. The fourth amendment would give the legislature power to designate the location of state institutions with a view to acquiring Bushnell General hospital to house one or a number of them. In issuing his proclamation, Governor Maw termed the Bush mportant measures before the special session. Wherein Utah's constitution was adopted in 18915, it provided that a state insane asylum be located at Provo, and a state reform school in Weber county. Unless the power to relocate these institutions is given to the legislature, the full utilization of Bushnell General hospital by the state of Utah provided the slate can buy the hospital from is impossible, the government Governor Maw pointed out. This right must be given before Utah will be justified in applying for title to Bushnell an institution that is needed to save the aged, handicapped and needy of the stale, he said. Blaze In Corinne 2d Ward Primary Graduation Held Causes $509 Loss The Brigham City fire department was called at about 3 oclock Friday to assist the Corinne fire department in controlling a large chicken coop fire on the Hendricks place. One truck went out from Brigham City and was able to put out the blaze with water from a near-birrigation ditch. Most of the chickens were saved, Glen Anderson, fire department member believed, but damage is estimated at $500. The fire started from carelessness, Anderson said. A fire which had been built to burn weeds and grass was allowed to get out of control and the resulting conflagration proved to be too much for the Corinne - IU equipment. .
