Legislature Falters as Sessions Drag on with Familiar Debates
The Legislature's week passed with little major legislation beyond minor Civil and Criminal Code amendments. Minister Damon pushed a 2 million loan plan for internal improvements, prompting doubts over discounts and U S figures, while the House shredded the License Bill. Cricket revival appears in Chicago as six clubs meet, and Sir Mackenzie Bowell’s rise from printer’s devil to Canadian premier is noted. Boston Park Commissioners reportedly may allow beer and light wine sales in parks this summer.
