Abolition of Grade Crossings Sparks House Debate
In the House a reconsideration of the grade crossing abolition bill was carried 74 to 66, then the measure was ordered to a third reading amid railroads warning of financial ruin and supporters arguing for protection of public safety and municipal control. The veto from Governor Russell halted passage for now as star chamber hearings and public access debates continued in the session.

New York Stocks Rally Amid Active Trading and Cordage Gain
Money on call has been easy with rates near 3 to 4 percent. Sterling bills show steady demand, while government bonds stay dull. The stock market opened irregular, then rose to peak levels with Cordage surging about 3 percent and investors shifting funds from railroad bonds to non indebted industrials. Gold exports totaling 2.5 million dollars today helped depress prices, yet the market closed strong near day’s highs.
