Candler bill to enlarge rail commission debated in House

Bell Automobile Bill Gets Favorable Report
The Bell automobile bill, favored by the house general judiciary committee as a substitute for Senator Felder’s bill, tightens speed rules yet protects pedestrians and farmers. It sets 0 mph near crowded areas, 20 mph on open highways, requires brake tests, a beacon lamp, headlights, a horn, and a $3 registration with a license badge for drivers. The measure would repeal city speed laws and loans time for passage to the next session.

Fertilizer Tax Hike Backed by Senate Committee
The senate agricultural committee approved a bill to raise fertilizer taxes by 15 cents per ton.
