Governor Bates Vetoes Savings Banks Bill Again
The Senate quickly sustained Governor Bates's veto of the savings banks reform, praising his independence from legislative pressure.

He signals another veto may follow over a trust company charter. Public celebration, he argues, should be restrained to avoid hampering work.
