Senate Holds Secret Monday Meeting on Floyd Reconsideration
In Little Rock the Senate convened in executive session near noon Monday to discuss overturning the recent 24 to 6 rejection of William E. Floyd as State Insurance Commissioner. A two thirds vote of twenty four would be required to reconsider. A. D. DuLaney has served as acting commissioner since Floyd’s rejection. In the House the Thorn electric bill faced a barrage of amendments changing tax provisions on utilities. The adopted amendment would tax local and long distance calls and utilities up to 2 percent to fund school district bonded indebtedness, seen by observers as a defeat for the bill.
