Pollution of Water Supplies Bill Debate in Senate
The Senate debated a bill to strengthen water supply pollution laws with one hour limit set by Senator Haggerty. Opposition by Senator Davenport claimed power to the State Board of Health was excessive, while proponents including Senator Dwinell argued the current statutes suffice if enforced. Senator Campbell urged passage, noting Worcester and Blackstone valley sewage issues and defending the Board of Health. The bill was ordered to a third reading 14 to 7, with amendments on Nashua and Blackstone river branches discussed and Pinkerton's amendment rejected. Another party measure to require notice of omitted voters faced opposition and support from Donovon, Haggerty, Creed, Howard, and Robbins. Cottin warned of costs, Donovon accused registrars of lobbying, and the row reflected partisan tension.
