HEALTH BOARD SAVED

Little Rock, Feb. S--The house this ] afternoon passed the Wilson bill
 which requires railroads operating in
 the state to repair their equipment
 at shops in this state. The vote was
 41-31. MT. Josephs of Miller led the opposition to the measure declaring
 that it would be unjust to the railroad
 companies. Mir. Wilson announced | th9t since the introduction of the bill, representatives of the railroads | had withdrawn their opposition and
 an effort by MT. Shouse of Boone to give notice of reconsideration was blocked by Mr. Reigler, who moved that the vote by which the bill passed be reconsidered and that motion laid on the table, which motion prevailed by vote of 39-33.
