Railroads Bill Sparks Senate Lobbying Fight in Athens
The bill to shield investments in railroads comes under debate as factions from the Northwestern Virginia and Marietta & Gallipolis lines push for its passage. A related dispute over the Walnut Mills tunnel and pressures from Baltimore interests heat the scene. The Senate also targets the Lunatic Asylum liquor funds with a critical report showing over $1,400 spent on alcohol since July 1954, including $760 in liquor alone. The session features a stormy clash over appointing C. P. Brown to chair the State House affairs committee, with M. Matthews opposing on impartiality grounds and Brown delivering a rancorous rebuttal.
