Words in the House Notable Cross Counter Over Kelcher Bill
A heated floor clash between Father Jim Mellen and Millionaire J. M. Forbes spurred a near physical confrontation during debate on the Kelcher bill requiring street railways to sand tracks. The exchange ended with Forbes denouncing Mellen as Mellen boasting of his knowledge and wealth as the bill’s dispute shifted to weather protection for workers and alternative bridge plans. The House defeated Kelcher and approved measures on bridges, canals, and court authority.
