Sunday law safe column March 14 senate bill on Owen law
The Senate bill by Mr. Ryan to amend the Owen law moved on the House calendar for Sunday second reading and went to the Committee of Municipal Affairs. It is believed the measure cannot pass without amendments allowing a local vote. A $419,509 Morgan raid claim appropriation was introduced by Mr. Taylor of Guernsey. The 1886 commission had allowed $430,000 but the Supreme Court ruled that appropriation unconstitutional without two thirds. About $20,000 in claims remain with Guernsey county citizens. Hearn's bill to let Common Pleas Judges fix minority stock value was set as a special order for next Wednesday. A House bill would bar United States prisoners not convicted in Ohio from the Ohio Penitentiary to shrink the convict and ex convict population as many released remain in the city. Sessions adjourned until Monday.
