partments upon the board of public
safety; amending the municipal code
so as to make better working pro-
visions for sweeping and sprinkling
streets,
Columbus, April S.-Probably the
most fragrant concession the general
assembly has made so far to the
lobby was evidenced Thursday in the
passage of the Crafts bill requiring
all persons from whom the existing
laws demand bond, to give surety
company bond. Under the applica-
ton of this law a personal bond will
soon be thing of the past.
Hereafter case cannot be ap-
pealed from Justices court unless
surety company bond is given for the
costs of the case. The state, county,
and township treasures are thrown
open to raids by the surety COM
panies and the orphan with a herit-
age pays tribute to the same con-
Germs.
The bill needs only the governors
signature to become law.
The senate passed the following
bills: Limiting the number of gar
nishee actions that they be brought
by any one creditor against the same
party to one each month, and provid-
ing that not more than three gar
nishees may be brought against any
one debtor in the same month; re-
quiring all manufacturers of COM
mercial foodstuffs to procure IL
cense at cost of $25 for each brand
of such food manufactured, the en-
forcement to be in the hands of the
state board of agriculture; requiring
persons who employ minor children
to keep on file certificates from their
parents or guardians showing their
,ges and physical condition; ex-
empting hospitals that accept pa
tients upon guarantees of cure,
from the application of the insurance
laws of the state; giving police pow
ers to conductors of interurban
street car lines; requiring deposit
tory for state funds. The governor,
auditor and attorney general shall
comprise depository commission
and shall in no case deposit in any
bank more than the amount of its
capital stock, nor more than $3OO,OOO.
Bills were passed by the houses:
Amending the statutes regarding
nuisances so that where the offenses
are of a continuous or recurrent ma
ture the court may penalize for con-
tempt, instead of securing new In
dictment and trial; establishing an
