Senate reads local bills at length amid filibuster talk
Sen H B Taylor of Butler County insisted on word for word readings of local bills delaying passage. The display occurred as lawmakers faced 75 local bills and the stalled installment loan bill loomed on the calendar. The education appropriations bill totals 186 million for the coming year and 191 million the next with 25 thousand for illiteracy programs and 40 thousand for Anniston Memorial Hospital nursing school. The House concurred with executive amendments but Senate delay prevented action.
