by Yea and Nay Vote
Of 20 to 5

4 The Senate this morning ordered to
, third reading the House bill 1856, an ac
+ relating to lights on vehicles at night
but first proposed amendment was re
jected. 1t was proposed to amend th'
bill by providing that the light be locat
ed on the left side of such vehicle. Sen
ator Bancroft for the committee SAID
the amendment would not cause any ad
. ditional expense to the owners of We
hicles and would benefit automobile op
orators.
Senator Chalmers opposed fhe amend
ment and Senator Morse feared if the bill
went back to the House the Senate might
never see it again. Senator Steele ia.
vored the amendment, Senator Bigelow
from experience, thought the best place
for the light is under the axle. Senator
) Taylor gave reasons for the desirability
of having the light on the right side
He believed the amendment would kill
the bill. Senator Peck referred to a Joint
rule and did not believe the House could
kill the bill under the rules. Senator
Hawley believed the amendment unnec-
Iessary.
1 At this point the amendment was re-
iected by yea and nay vote of 20 to 5.
