Proctor Overlooked as Low License Bill Moves

Hall ceded the chair to Senator Stotsenburg, who named Hank and Durre as members. Proctor was excluded. The measure would let cities set licenses up to 500 dollars and limit saloons to one per 500 residents unless counties opt otherwise. Proctor opposes the house action and plans to fight.
