Destructive House Rejects Bills On Liquor And Insane Hospitals
The House of Representatives, in a destructive mood, rejected bills to prohibit fines for imperfect weaving and to restrict liquor sales by druggists. A bill to increase capital stock of the Providence and Worcester road advanced. Wadlin of Reading failed to refer matters not reported by a week. The Senate noted a health board report on oleomargarine and a board of education recommendation for evening schools in towns over 5000. Auditor data shows legislative advertising expenses. The parks petition faced opposition to spending 1,000,000 beyond the debt limit.

Taxation on vessels deemed inex pedient and other legislative actions
The Senate committees reviewed measures including taxing all registered vessels, legalizing the Revere town meeting, and forcing evening schools for towns over 5000. A health report on oleomargarine notes safety, composition, and storage, with an expert from Harvard Colleges finding largely safe materials and minimal parasite risk. The baseball section reports a cold practice game between the Bostons and Dartmouth, plus Harvard’s developing squad and player prospects.
House Debates On April Dates And Various Bills
Reading representative Mr Wadlin proposed orders for the next General Court on April 18 then 19 but both were rejected. The House reviewed reports on Worcester policemen tenure, exemptions for widows of soldiers, and Judge Bacon's widow’s salary. Vaccination bill tabled amid illness, a ban on fines for weaving failed, Providence and Worcester rail stock allowed third reading, and various budget and public service measures moved forward or debated.
