House Debates Resolve on State Printing and Dentistry Bill
The House settled the State printing resolve without the lowest bidder clause amid votes against amending for lowest bidder recognition. The dentistry bill passed with amendments on examination for graduates and looser rules for current practitioners. A liquor law report proposed limiting licenses to one per 500 population, reducing Boston licenses from 2755 in 1885 to about 800. Senators read reports with no debate. A judiciary bill raised personal injury compensation to 4000 and required notice within thirty days. Pillsbury urged a charter revival for the Hoosac Tunnel line and consolidation with related roads, naming corporators and conditions for construction and capital.
