Legislature Whacks Away At 40 Bills
MADISON Both the Assembly and the Senate cut through more than 40 bills each in long sessions as they push to finish before summer. The Senate sent to the Assembly a pension bill for legislators and officials with three Republicans voting against it. A tavern opening on election days bill was killed 16 to 15. Several measures died in the Senate, including stamping value and railroad passes after election. Assembly bills moving forward included burial aid for servicemen, higher butterfat in milk, and protections on municipal salaries. The Assembly killed a labeling requirement for poultry. A package of potential bills stalled or moved were: teacher exams, inheritance tax relief, broadened disorderly conduct, motor vehicle liability for minors, and a political contribution deduction. The Assembly rejected a 14-year-old operated five-hp motorcycle bill 49 to 45 after lapsing and reviving debates. No action on two bills: a $2,500 Ripon schoolhouse restoration and foreign doctors licensing. MADISON Public Welfare Committee
