Rail and political notices color Eriel legislative day
The senate railroads committee moves a bill letting long lines charge short line routes across the state without matching rates elsewhere. Gov. Cummins may appoint former Rep. Joan T. Hamilton to the board of control, succeeding Judge I. J. Kinne. The Geneva Bill broadens city council licensing powers, while a Warren teachers certificate bill faces a tight vote. The wages assignment measure passes the senate. The anti pass bill and river survey measures advance poorly, and a state constabulary bill is killed. Grandstand funding, a roster bill, church election sites, and local resignations fill out a busy agenda across Cedar Rapids and other towns.
