Quaker City Enacts Major Statewide Reforms and Local Borrowing
The 1913 Pennsylvania General Assembly ends a long session with broad measures including a city borrowing act for Quaker City worth 45 million dollars for transit and improvements, state wide primary and direct US Senate elections by popular vote, civil service expansion, and new public utilities oversight. It also advances school vocational education, seed purity standards, and wage and labor reforms while resisting several labor and social bills. The session raises debate on constitutional revisions, budget levels, and municipal commissions for third class cities.
