Proposed state mine reform committee and updated safety law
State Mine Inspector Blacer proposes empowering the governor to appoint an equal operator and miner committee to draft a safety bill for the coming legislature. He notes Wyoming coal laws are 25 years old, inadequate for current methods, and urges mandatory safety measures to compel compliance. He reports District No. 1 had its most productive year yet and praises local rescue and road cleanup efforts while warning of gaps in current statutes.
