EXTRA SESSION AGAIN
The Subject of Reports that Emanate
from the State CapitalMay be
Called December 2nd
Tallahassee Fia Nov ISIt is
currently reported in Tallahassee that
Gov Broward will call an extra ses
sion of the legislature to convene Dec
2 This is a rumor that could not be
j confirmed at the executive office to
I day The governor was not in the
city and his private secretary said he
knew nothing of the governors in
tentions
I Whatever the basis given for an ex
tra session it is now too late to make
provision for additional revenue by an
increase of the tax rate If there has
been any fear on this score it may be
set at ease The tax books or the
greater number of them have been
sent into the controller and are now
being compiled in that office To re
ceive the report of the investigating
I commission and possibly to create a I
prison commission to consider the
I state life insurance question and bet
ter revenue measures are assigned as
the foremost reasons for an extra ses
I sion
There is a certain feeling that the
session will be called and the certain
ty bears with it the conviction that
the governor has talked to somebody
I thought nobody appears to know who
