Senate Bill to Tax Ten Percent of Grade Crossing Fixes
At the State House, a bill reported by Senator Fletcher’s street railways committee would levy ten percent of grade crossing removal costs on street railway firms. Representative Gilpatric noted the pending report, while debate centers on whether the ten percent should come from steam-road funds or another distribution. The House reconsidered a wage law bill and adopted a city-exemption amendment.
