Amid a March 21 session the senate heard petitions from Webster county citizens seeking a fish protection law and Winnesh county residents urging a usury law change. Several bills were introduced on land surveying, indigent care, railroads aid, county auditor duties, and commissioner appointments. Petitions favored tightening usury limits to 15 percent. Other measures addressed state institutions, township boards of equalization, and library support. A memorial requested federal waterway connection. Bills passed included revisions to appeals procedures and sections of prior laws, plus a $15,000 college loan resolution for the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Beekuk, with the attorney general instructed to safeguard principal and interest.
