Legislative notes from the Missouri assembly in session
The assembly heard from Hon Pearl Decker and Richard Barthold of St Louis with attention. Festus Wade urged passage of a credit law to aid manufacturers and wholesalers in extending credit to foreign firms, claiming millions in foreign trade for St Louis and Kansas City. Spiritualists held seances amid opposition to a bill allowing practice for a fee, while a four-year term for the prosecuting attorney passed amid trading rumors. The day inspection bill, vaudeville opening for the fiftieth anniversary, and heated debates over children codes and fire insurance dominated a busy week. Fontleroy of St Louis impressed critics with sharp questioning of insurers.
