Senate redraws park sale and grounds plan amid veto bids
The Indiana Senate reconsidered the Friday vote to sell St Clair Park, voting to keep park grounds with a fence around both the Institution for the Blind and St Clair Park. The body also debated not selling the Deaf institution, adjourned with matters carried to tomorrow, and discussed an appropriation bill as a special order. The Governor returned two bills to the House and a bond issue was scrutinized while a Marion county surveyor salary of 2500 was questioned as too high.
