In Charleston the House defeated all amendments on a bill giving Governor Patteson authority to pick a site for a medical school, while backing a broader tax and salary agenda. Senate actions moved a motor vehicle measure, a wage bill for educators, and a toll-bridge plan forward, with committee refinements reducing truck axle weight limits and adjusting beer establishment rules near churches and schools. The day also saw action on public finance items, including court dentistry injunctions, municipal salary caps, and tax adjustments for meals, soda, and insurance.
