Veto Expected as Assembly Debates Pension Bill
Madison Feb 18 The senate refused to follow the assembly in reconsidering a bill to add two state pay roll positions and a veto is anticipated. A railroad pension petition urged by Senator ONeil sought a monthly pension for long employed railroad workers, but the measure stalled. Other bills passed or moved include tax exemption for tools and household articles and a circuit court judges term bill. Ex-speaker Bradford urged steadier work and daily sessions for two weeks, while members debated adjournment.
