New Bill Aims to Stay Real Estate Sales in War Time
A Harrisburg bill authorizes common pleas courts to stay writs or executions for real estate sales when they interfere with the war effort. Reps. Wilkinson and Readinger say the measure broadens a prior proposal and gives courts discretion on stay length. The move aligns with Governor James’s call to suspend laws hindering the war program. Arkansas is noted as the main source of bauxite ore for aluminum.
