an emergency appropriation for the State Prison System at
Huntsville, Texas, in the amount of Three Thousand Dollars
($3,000.00) or so much thereof as may be necessary. Said appropriation
is made for the purpose of aiding the City of

of paving around the Penitentiary at Huntsville, Texas.

condition that the Commission of the State Prison System shall
have charge of such construction and expenditure of the sum
of money hereby and herein appropriated to said institution.

the premises in and around the Penitentiary System at

said Rule is hereby suspended, and this Act shall take effect and
be in force from and after its passage, and it is so enacted.
