Rates Reform Fails Narrowly as House Adjourns
The House barely advanced the rate regulation bill by 75 to 71 and faces unlikely final passage. It also ordered a third reading of the civil case venue change and reconsidered the unconstitutional naturalization act provision via Senate-backed repeal. The Senate drove a license bill shift with a $450 first class fee and a $400,000 Boston park loan was rejected 16 to 18.
