124 GENERAL AND SPECIAL LAWS.
Session of the 43rd Legislature, be and the same is hereby
amended by adding a new subdivision after subsection 6 to be
numbered subsection "6a" to read as follows:
"6a. Provided that in any county in this State having assessed
tax valuation of more than Seventy-three Million Dollars
($73,000,000.00) and less than Seventy-six Million Dollars
($76,000,000.00) according to the last preceding tax roll, the
Justices of the Peace and Constables in such counties may receive
and retain maximum fees of Three Thousand Dollars
($3,000.00) per year. Such Justices of the Peace and Constables
shall also receive excess fees as provided in Chapter
220 Acts of the Regular Session of the 43rd Legislature, for
counties containing as many as one hundred fifty thousand and
one (150,001) or more inhabitants."
SEC. 2. That Article 3902 of the Revised Civil Statutes of
Texas, 1925, as amended by Chapter 220, Acts of the Regular
Session of the 43rd Legislature, be and the same is hereby
amended by adding a new subsection after subsection 6 to be
numbered subsection "6a" to read as follows:
"6a. Provided that in any county having assessed tax
valuation of more than Seventy-three Million Dollars ($73,000,000.00)
and less than Seventy-six Million Dollars ($76,000,000.00),
the First Assistant District Attorney or First Assistant
Criminal District Attorney may be allowed maximum
compensation of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) per year.
All other Assistant District Attorneys or other Assistant Criminal
District Attorneys, may be allowed maximum compensation
of Two Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($2,400.00) per
year."
SEC. 3. The fact that the present compensation allowed to
certain fee officers and certain salaried assistants in counties
having a high taxable valuation and a corresponding amount of
business to be transacted by such officers is wholly insufficient
and inadequate to compensate said officers for the work and
the duties performed creates an emergency and imperative public
necessity that the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to be
read on three several days in each House be suspended, and
the same is hereby suspended, and this Act shall be in full force
and effect from and after the date of its passage, and it is so
enacted.
[NOTE.-H. B. No. 144 passed the House, February 23, 1934,

1934, as amended, by a vote of 17 yeas, 9 nays.]
