Discussion focused on whether railroad property should be taxed by a state board or local authorities, with the section referred back for more work.

Committee On Arrangement and
Oddities and Notices From Distant Corners
A motley column notes an elderly ogester as a venerable specimen, a new Chicago colony started in San Diego County, mica framed patent medicine pictures in North Carolina mountains, and a minister’s salary floor of 1500 dollars. It mentions ships and their pronouns, aristocratic pets, a family dispute on marriage, a moonlit rattler, curious potato myths, and Ohio Garfield County’s bachelor immigration plea.
