New Carver Food Fill.

Upon the evident theory that there
is no chance to pass the Quinlisk bill,
which tears the vitals out of the Won
derheide conservancy act, Senator A.
R Carver presented his second bill
OF the conservancy matter. 1t is linn
tied to two propositions. One provides
for election of flood directors, and the
other gives land owners whose proper
ties are to be flooded the option of
selling instead of receiving compen-
sation for a. permanent easement for
dry reservoir purposes. In the house
the Quinlisk bill, a duplicate of Sena-
tor Garver's original measure which
the senate defeated, was reported
without recommendation. Senator D.
L Suffer, of Cuyahoga, put in a Sec
ond cold storage bill, an elaboration OF
his previous bill. He tried to have 1t
read a second time for reference to
committee, but Senator Louis P. Pink
blocked his plans. The bill puts the
cold storage plants under annual
license charge of $40 and gives the
state agricultural commission com
plete power ove them.
