EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE

Indianapolis, July s.*—Governor James Goodrich today issued a call for a special session of the Indiana Legislature to convene at 1:30 p. m. Monday, July 12. The call is merely a formal notice of the date for convening and does not set forth the matters to be considered. The governor announced some time ago that he intended to call a special session. The financing of state institutions is expected to be the most important matter to be considered at the session. The governor after issuing the call said he would not discuss the program before the legislature convenes. He said he expected about a dozen subjects would be presented to the assembly. Besides providing funds for the maintenance of state institutions the legislature is also expected to take up bills for the construction of a $10,000,000 war memorial.
