Emerson Blocks Highway Bill Over Route Near Hotel
Albany April 15 Senator James A Emerson fought to keep a highway bill from advancing after objecting to transferring highway work to a new state department under governor appointees. The bill would create a trunk highway system funded by the state and include routes near Emersons Schroon Lake property. Emerson pressed to fix the route past his property in the bill, while the highway committee left the decision to the new department. The measure was sent to the Committee of the Whole as Senator Allds signaled intent to suspend rules to move it from its regular order.
