Fight for Fair Rate Board Is Unsuccessful
Harrisburg May 29 United Press staff correspondent James A Sullivan reports the 1931 legislative session credited Governor Pinchot with a bundle of measures. The main achievement was creating a rate board to replace the public service commission and tighten control of utilities, while a congressional reapportionment trimmed Pennsylvania from 35 to 34 seats. The session also passed old age pensions, jury trials in contempts, a veterans benefit program, tax measures and road projects. Controversies and aborted efforts marked adjournment as the administration faced debates over unemployment relief and changes to blue laws.
