State House OKs Two Bills After Heated Debate
The Arkansas House approved two major measures and sent them to the Senate. A full time law school at Little Rock was backed by Foster while opponents warned of costs and Fayetteville competition. The chamber also passed a repeal of the 1937 Fair Trade Act amid charges it benefits merchants, and approved a statewide presidential primary and higher property tax relief refunds for seniors.
