Change of Venue Bill Advances in Legislature
The House favored a venue change in civil actions after a previous defeat. A special labor commission on women in industry gained calendar approval without debate. The Senate again trimmed liquor license fees, setting first class at 350 dollars. A Boston parks loan of 400000 dollars moved to a third reading. A bill would retire Superior Court judges at 70 with half pay after ten years service.
