Syllabus

<p>Constitutional Law—Enactment oe Laws—Journals oe Legislative Houses — Presumption. — It is not essential to the validity of a statute that it should affirmatively appear from the journals of the senate and the assembly that every act required by the constitution to be done in the enactment of a law has been done; nor will it be presumed, in the absence of such a showing, that such acts were not done.</p> <p>Id. — Selecting Site for Building—Delegation of Legislative Functions. —A provision in an act of the legislature giving to certain persons the authority to select a site for a public building proposed to be constructed is not a delegation of legislative functions or powers.</p> <p>Id.—Act for Single Purpose — One Appropriation.—The act of 1889, entitled “ An act to provide a permanent site for the California Home for the Care and Training of Feeble-minded Children, and to erect suitable buildings thereon,” has but one purpose, within the meaning of section 34 of article 4 of the constitution, and properly makes but one appropriation to carry out its object.</p>
