Acting District Attorney
San Antonio, Texas Re: The Federal census to
be followed when a

preliminary and the
final figures affects

Dear Mr. Hardy: "bracket" laws.
Your request for an opinion presents for de-
termination the following question:
Does the final and corrected report
from the Bureau of the Census, which places
Bexar County in a new bracket as to sever-
