Provincial Legislature Advances Election Act and Reform Bills
The legislature continued routine business as several bills moved forward. Bowyer introduced an Arbitration Act amendment, while Hawthornthwaite proposed extending franchise to women. McAnnis pushed an inspection of metalliferous mines act amendment, and the premier adjourned debate on others. The bill to amend the Provincial Election act faced opposition from Hawthornthwaite Melnnis and Parker Williams, citing disfranchisement risks, but passed second reading with conservatives and Liberals in agreement. Insurance policy act and Supreme Court act updates were read, and a private bill to incorporate the Victoria and Barclay Sound railway company was presented.
