Bills on Farm Research Introduced in Legislature
The New York Legislature debated multiple measures after Governor Dewey urged agricultural research funding. Proposals include $16,000 for Cornell University research at Geneva's Experiment Station and $26,000 for food preservation studies. Other bills set highway construction safeguards for defense needs, raise Schenectady election commissioners' salaries to $4, and allow 14 plus year old caddies to work without permits. A seven member bipartisan anti intolerance commission would study sectarian activity with a $50,000 appropriation, while outdoor advertising rules would require permits and levy 1 percent per square foot fees.
