The senate authorized a 400 appropriation to pay drainage assessments on state lands in Winnebago and Worth counties linked to Rice lake drainage. Bills passed to let city councils fix public market space rents for improvements. A third measure allows the secretary of the board of control to inspect state institutions when monthly visits by board members are impossible. A joint recess and junket were postponed due to lack of business. The house quickly passed six bills and 12 new ones were introduced, including penalties for smuggling into institutions and restricting gasoline stations in residential areas.
