Madison, Feb. 20.-In the senate a
bill was introduced which requires ap-
plicants for admission to the bar to
read law in an Office two instead of
three years.
In the assembly Mr.. Rossmcn Of
fered an amendment to the bicycle
path bill requiring such paths to be at
least feet from the outside of the
highway and forbidding the fencing
in of the paths. Mr.. Sturdevant op
posed the amendment, saying it was
evidently in the interest of the phone
men who wanted to set their poles
within the 4-foot limit Mr. Silkworth
explained that phone companies were
required to set poles ON the 4-foot
line and that they paid for the right.
The amendment was adopted Al to 81.
Mr.. E. A. Miller then put in an amend
ment keeping the paths at least feet
away from the actual roadway and it
was adopted. Next an amendment was
proposed by Mr. Young requiring
cyclists to obtain the right from abut-
ting property owners before cutting
limbs from trees and it, too, was
adopted. Then the bill was sent to
the judiciary committee The bill,
though having many warm advocates
has come up kerplunk against the
powerful telephone element and is in
danger of having a serious time, de-
spite its merits. The calendar beirs
light the house was in humorous
mood and worked off it's levity upon
the Norton bill to tax unmarried wo-
men over 80 years of age $25. At last
on motion of Judge Orion, the bill was
made a special order for the last day
of the session. The bachelors $40
license bill was killed without COM
junction, the unmarried men display
ing mock enthusiasm in the obsequies.
Another bill killed was ManuePs ex-
empting all farm machinery from tax
alton.
