Sunday Law Controversy Reignites Judicial Revision Debate
The House renewed debate on Sunday laws and three proposed bills to reform the judiciary. Wharton’s bill won a preference vote 98 to 83, but progress stalled with amendments postponed. A New Bedford tax case and a forged 4000 dollar school fund note from Stow were reported. Senate recited debate on patent ballot boxes before recommitting. The joint judiciary panel favored a constitutional amendment to overhaul the system, but broad passage seems unlikely.
