Lawmakers Hear Repeal Bill After Brief Session
In bumpy proceedings at Bown in Voorhees County, the House met briefly with few spectators as the repealing bill faced pushback. A new chaplain, Edward B. Bagby of Virginia, was sworn in after a viva voce vote. Debate on the Wilson repeal bill, amendments, and coinage topics followed, ending with a roll call vote on the repeal measure showing strong opposition and a tied or near-split result. A separate report notes the death of George H Stayper Jr. and an update on the Mavebeater ship canal opening by January.
