Sanborn license bill called up in New Hampshire House
The New Hampshire House debated the Sanborn high license act with a narrow margin 164 to 154 to defeat a motion to indefinitely postpone. The vote split largely along party lines with Manchester Republicans backing license. The bill creates five license classes as a local option measure. The Salem water works bill also sparked contention as a committee disclaimed responsibility for the measure and rumors circulated about a governor signed version differing from the original act. In the Senate, a third reading approved a bill making election day a legal holiday, awaiting the governor's action.
