The tuberculosis package seeks beds for consumptives, dispensaries in small cities, increased patient charges, a hospital school expansion, health inspector funding, and a weekly subsidy for cities with TB hospitals.

Legislation Moves on Election Finance and Telephone Rates
The session features repeal proposals for the bar and bottle bill led by Rep Doyle of New Bedford. Mayor Fitzgerald election bills by Sen Curley set a $10,000 limit on campaign expenditures and $5000 personal costs, with a $25,000 municipal election fund. Bills to shift telecom supervision to the Gas and Electric Light Commission are filed by United Improvement Association amid ongoing rate disputes. The current plan caps short telephone messages at five cents for under five minutes within the metro area, reflecting broader regulatory action and rate uncertainties dating to 1910.
