the house tomorrow and the forces on
both sides of the measure are lining |
up for the fray. Friends of the bill |
are confident II will pass but are
slightly worried about getting it
with the emergency clause
attached. With this provision, un-
der the rules, it will take two
thirds vote and it is doubtful If this |
can be secured unless the closing |
hour is extended until nine or ten
Many favor fixing the closing hour
later than eight o'clock and the bill
is certain to be amended with this
feature
Glassner OF Bon Homme will move
an amendment making the closing
hour between eight and eleven"
the exact time to be determined at
the option of the communities His
idea will unquestionably meet with
the approval Of the liquor interests.
The scheme would give the small
towns the privilege of early closing
while the larger towns, where such
strict legislation might do more harm
than good, could keep the saloons
open until eleven if the electors of
the place SO desired.
Sutley's bill for an experimental
farm at Vivian in Lyman county will
be reported favorably by the agricul
tural committee of the house. 1t is
understood the Milwaukee railroad
has offered the state permanent lease
OF land suitable for cite, which the
state may keep as long the an expert
mental farm is maintained there.
DR.. Meade of the Yankton Insane
hospital, in his report, recommends
that the state begin preparations for
the construction of northern hos
pital. It has been tacitly understood
that when the Yankton asylum
reached It's reasonable limit of a
thousand inmates that a second in
stitution was to be constructed and
maintained on the state property at
WATERFOWL. There are now nearly
nine hundred patients in the hospital
and considering the rate of increase
there would be about thirteen hun
dred before the northern institution
could be In running order 1t is very
nrnhlh that tha lnoic of will
grant the necessary appropriation to
begin the fixing up Of the grounds in
Watertown, preparatory to the con-
struction of new hospital there.
