Senate debate on railroad stock sales and public auction
In the Senate a report on railroad stock sale policy was taken up. Coffin supported selling new shares at public auction unless exempt by special acts, arguing railroads serve the public and stock should benefit the treasury. Davenport warned against bias toward stockholders, Metcalf cited risk to holders, and others voiced concerns about foreign influence and fairness. The substitute failed, and a grade crossings bill moved forward with amended cost shares favoring 66 percent railroad and 10 percent local.

Senate Debates Rail Crossing Flagman and Prison Rooms
Senator Hunt gave notice of a substitute bill for an adverse report to compel railroad firms to keep a flagman at each grade crossing. The session addressed debt authorizations for Boston schoolhouses, prison cell expansion, and guaranties for rail bonds. The committee on constitutional amendments reported inexpedient to legislate, despite a minority view. The composition with creditors bill in insolvency was rejected and an election law substitute was offered.
