Local Option Extension Sidetracked in Kentucky Senate
The county unit local option extension bill, seen as key to expanding prohibition, likely faces a death blow after Senate President Pro Tem Linn referred it to the religion and morals committee, which opposes the bill and is expected to report unfavorably. House supporters remain hopeful but a two thirds vote may be required to bring it forward. New bills were introduced as the session adjourned, including acts to abolish assessors, create a state steam boiler inspector, repeal the racing commission act, and form a state game and fish commission.
