Legislature wraps up action on many minor bills
TOPEKA The 1957 Legislature finished action on a large batch of minor measures as windup neared. Proposals sent to Gov. Docking include raising weekly workmen’s compensation by two dollars, allocating 3.86 million dollars from the state institutional building fund for hospitals, and 949 thousand dollars for operating boys and girls industrial schools next year. The Senate closed all business except conference reports and veto-message action. the House had a few bills pending but moved quicker overall. The Senate approved tax relief for western Kansas livestock killed in last month’s blizzard and sent an amendment to the House to adjust the claim deadline. Bills to raise state tax and liquor enforcement rates were sent back to the House for reconsideration, and a measure to collect interest on inactive state funds deposits went to a conference committee after House amendments were rejected. The House advanced pay for Highway Patrol troopers and increased trooper strength, sending the bill back to the Senate with minor changes, while eliminating a proposed State Highway Patrol Board.
