Young bill empowering cities TO erect
armories
The Root bill permitting more than
$35 to be expended in the burial Of an
INDECENT soldier was Te-referred to the
committee on military affairs for con-
nection. It's author thought the pres,
ent $35 limit was niggardly and that
war heroes should be given decent
burial at any reasonable expense.
Osteopathy had its day in the lower
house, ex-Gov. Peck being one among
the scores Of petitioners in favor of
the bill which the new medical school
is seeking to crowd through. There
were a dozen or more circumstances
against the primary election bill, and
half as many in it's favor.
Mr.. Willott was granted permission
to withdraw his bill to compel railway
companies to receive cars, loaded or
empty, from other railway companies,
and to deliver them at any freight de-
pot or upon any pricate or public track
to which it may be consigned within
the city where the company has con-
nectiOns, and also to make track con-
nections with other roads within the
same city where no track connection
exists.
