Debates and votes on liquor law and Boston Electric stock

In the General Court a day of debates over liquor law repeal and a bill to increase the Boston Electric Light Company capital stock dominated proceedings. Senators Hemenway and Durant led arguments on temperance versus business interests, with a 102 to 106 roll call on the liquor bill. The Senate then considered raising Boston Electric stock from 1 million to 3 million, approving the measure after amendments, with a 26 to 12 vote in favor and 22 to 12 to retain the larger increase.
