1918 Legislators Called Back for Review of Public Bills
A plan approved by both rules committees would summon every 1918 senator and representative to testify on public control bills. Governor Cox, Attorney General J Weston Allen, Jay R Benton, Henry G Wells and others would be questioned, with current leaders Allen and Young chairing hearings. The roster includes former leaders Warner and McKnight, Insurance Commissioner Hobbs, and Boston officials Wilson Nichols Lawler, plus present lawmakers Underhill Fitzgerald.

Roxbury Heads 1918 Metropolis Affairs Panel
Roxbury remains the only current metropolitan affairs committee member in either branch of government. Because he served in the 1918 Legislature, Attorney-General Allen is unlikely to act as legal adviser to the investigating panel. The same rule blocks Assistant Attorney-General Jay R. Benton from offering services. The Attorney-General declined to comment, but others say hiring another attorney, inside or outside the department, is possible.
