60 Cent Measure A Surprise Party
Indianapolis gas interests may seek to defeat a bill fixing a 60 cent per 1000 cubic feet maximum gas rate in Indianapolis. Introduced by Marion county senator Linton A. Cox, the measure surprised legislators and drew cautious expectations it could pass the Senate and possibly the House, with Marion county backing but organized opposition from gas interests and some House members.

PUT ON A FLAGMAN BILL SEEKING FULL TRAIN CREW
A proposed measure introduced in the lower house by Representative Thomas Horan would require a full crew on trains of 50 cars or more. The crew would include an engineer, fireman, conductor, two brakemen and two flagmen. Proponents say the extra personnel would reduce accidents from long trains and overworked crews, while railroads warn of financial loss from shorter trains. Fred L. Feick, representing railroad men, says Indiana's level terrain allows longer trains, and the bill would address crew shortages and safety.

Bill to curb crooked printer contracts in state bidding
Senator Moore of Cendisville introduces Senate bill to loosen who can bid on printing and stationery contracts, aiming to curb officer aided favoritism. The measure follows Gov Hanly’s recommendations and seeks to lower county printing costs by exposing bid collusion and requiring bidders to cover all items in a class. The senator cites county printing costs in 19th century data, suggesting honest bidding could cut expenses by about half.
