Senate Delays Arguments On Liquor Measure
RALEIGH March 5 A large crowd filled senate galleries and lobbies but debate on the Hill liquor-store bill did not occur as the senate adjourned after over an hour on the Barker optometry bill. The liquor measure remains on the calendar and may be reached tomorrow. Senator Griffin led a long fight over the optometry bill aimed at banning employment of licensed optometrists by firms selling services and banning bait advertising. He ultimately supported second reading but did not vote on final passage, with observers calling his effort a disguised filibuster.
