State Senate Reconsiders Pay Raise and Adopts $150

The State Senate reconsiders the resolution for legislators' compensation and adopts an amendment setting the extra pay at 150. A bill to cut Supreme Judicial Court judges on vacancies is reported, and a bank tax bill halves the rate. In the House the Governor's arms purchase message is read, the Goodyear patent resolution is sent to pass, and the Boston Lowell railroad merger bill with Farlow's substitute is rejected.
