Wisconsin Senate Rebuffs Conference on Two Measures
The Wisconsin Senate refused to appoint conference committees on two measures, one a joint resolution for an attorney general investigation of Madison coal and ice trade, the other a police pension bill for smaller cities. The Assembly failed to engross the state school board bill amid a close vote. Speaker Ingram received a gold water and praised the legislature's high class work as Mahon’s industrial commission bill moved to engrossment. The session also debated optometry regulation, uniform text books, and education appropriations including university and normal school funding and a new university mill tax.
