For th* last two days sand has
been excavated at and carried off
the sand beach reserve leased by the
city of Austin from the state of
Texas. It is being dug out with
pick and shovel and hauled away in
wagons. The city officials have been
notified by police officers patrolling
the beach, but have given no heod.
But every road except one leading
onto the sand beach has been fenced
and a wire fence has been placed
across the railroad track.
A number of years ago a fence was
built across the northern part of the
state’s land, but not on th* line.
In places it is as much -a* 280 or
even 800 feet within the line. Band
that is especially good for bullding
and paving purposes has been taken
from this tract outside the fence for
several years, but always .the per-
sons hauling it away would pay the
lessees of the property. It is not to
be supposed that the city is being
paid for what is now being hauled
away, for Mayor Wooldridge denied
Tuesday night that any sand was
being hauled from that portion
leased by the city from the state.
Nevertheless, the map in the office
of C. L. Stowe, state superintendent
of public building* and grounds,

AUSTIN AMERICAN WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 12, 1917.
Replying to questions aske one
of the leading lawyers in Texas, a
brief has been prepared which gives
the following conclusions:
First: Ths governor of Texas is
prohibited from holding the position
of secretary of a federal land bank,
as authorized and created by the
act of th* sixty-fourth congress in
senate bill 2988.
Second: Th* lieutenant governor
of Texas is not prohibited from nold-
ing the position of secretary of a
federal land bank as authorized and
created by the sixty-fourth congress
in senate bill 2988.
Third: Th* lleutenant goyernor of
Texas is not under th* restrictions
and inhibitions imposed by th* Texas
constitution on the governor, while
the lieutenant governor is tempora-
rily exorcising the powers and au-
thority pertaining to the office of
governor, while the governor is tem-
porarily absent from the state
Fourth: In case of death, resig-
nation, removal from office, inability
or refusal to serve or of the per-
manent abnence of the governor from
the state • ♦ • the lieutenant
governor upon assuming th* duties
of th* governor’s office does com*
under all '.ho restrictions and inhi-
bitions imposed on the governor.
Senator Hudspeth wanted another
executive session Wednesday or
Thursday, when the subcommittee
from the committee on nominationa
could report its findings as to the
constitutionality of the recesa ap-
pointee* of th* governor continuing
in orrice since th* governor failed to
submit their name* to th* senate for
confirmation within ton days after the
legislature convened. The fact that
such a committee had been appotnted
was developed during the discuseion
over the time for holding the next
executive session. Motion made for
the holding of executive sessions
must necessarily be made in open se*-
