"BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS:
"Section 1. There is hereby appropriated for
the use of the Secretary of State, out of any funds in
the Securities Act Fund not heretofore otherwise ap-
propriated, the sum of Two Thousand ($2,000.00) Dol-
lars to be expended for the purpose of compiling, ed-
iting, indexing, and distributing the Current Laws en-
acted by the 51st Legislature.
"Sec. 2. The fact that the appropriations hereto-
fore made to the Secretary of State for the purposes
named in Section 1 of this Act are inadequate, creates
an emergency and an imperative public necessity that

the same is hereby suspended, and this Act shall take
effect and be in full force and effect from and after its
passage, and it is so enacted."Under the authority of Gulf Insurance Co. v. v. James,
