Debate kills street railway bill on jitneys and bonds
After a long debate the House killed the jitney bill backed by street railway firms. Provisions requiring prohibitive bonds and other rules for jitneys were toned down but still deemed unconstitutional by the attorney general for discriminating against a vehicle class. Amendments to extend bonds to all motor vehicles failed, and a party line vote followed. Bills also proposed $15,000 appropriations for plans for a new insane hospital and a feeble minded institution in western Massachusetts.
