Ferguson Act Sparks Senate Vote and Route Rename Debate
The vote stood 27 to 1 with Sen David McK Ferguson opposing. Senate approval covered extending appointing authority for county auditors as inheritance tax agents, cutting printed volumes from 18,000 to 6,000 at an estimated savings of 15,000, and renaming Route 23 as the Scioto Trail while preserving it as the United Spanish War Veterans Memorial Highway. Five House members failed to relieve the labor committee to vote on a Ferguson Act modification. House figures Grusenmeyer, Anderson, White, Manahan, and Farley opposed. A Ferguson repeal measure stalled in the Senate, with Lausche indicating a veto. A substitute bill tightens bars within 200 feet of churches, schools, libraries, and playgrounds, requiring institutional consent and State Liquor Board review for new bars. The committee will hear the measure next Monday night.
