Debate over state printing contract and female voter returns
In the House the fight over the five year state printing contract centered on whether the award should go to the lowest bidder. The finance committee faced opposition over excluding chairmen from the proposed commission. Secretary Peirce reported 4219 registered female voters with 1911 voting. The Senate mainly suspended rules for salary bills as debate continued on the Beverly Farms matter and an Essex District Court proposal faced an adverse judiciary committee report.
