Revision of All State Laws Inspires Senate Debate in Indiana
In Indianapolis on January 31 the Inspection Bill for building and loan associations sparked a long senate debate on its plan to codify laws and appoint three state examiners at a salary of 2 207 annually with travel costs. Critics called it extravagance and feared new offices while supporters argued it protects against unfair practices. The measure was amended to cut salaries to 1 000 and fees to about half, and the Hauck bill died after a 4 4:60 debate.
