Harrisburg Correspondence Highlights End of Session Delays
Harrisburg correspondence reports lawmakers weary of the lengthy session and nearing adjournment. The appropriation bill awaits action, the civil code and state constitution revision appear unlikely, and a nine and a half million sinking fund railroad bill faces indefinite postponement amid battles in both chambers. The Supreme Court sits in Harrisburg this month with Chief Justice Thompson and Justices Agnew Sharnwood and Williams present, while Justice Read is indisposed. A lengthy session yields many bills, a heavier file burden, and debates over war damages legislation with clerical influence noted.
