bills pending before the legislature on
this subject. The ]. G. Hanson bill
would permit the establishment of city
milk depots. Another bill would per-
init the establishment of city market
in Milwaukee, to be operated under
the direction of the Milwaukee COM
mon council, and a third measure
embodies a limited provision for the
establishment of city markets IN all
cities in the states. These bills brought
the fire of the legislature last week
and il was necessary to lay all of them
over for general discussion at one
time The farmer members of the Leg
lslature are generally in favor of these
bills, but there is considerable opposi-
tion from other sections to the meas
ure. From municipal standpoint The
bills are considered among the most
important to come before the legisla-
ture.
Teachers retirement fund experts
may find that they have performed
their services for the state without
compensation. The assembly has
killed, by vote of 80 to %, the bill
appropriating $4,000 additional to pay

committee which investigated the sub
ject. A rJotion for reconsideration
has been entered and when the bill
comes up this week an effort will be
made to send 1t back to the finance

feated in the assembly by a vote of
81 to 30. This bill would have permit
ted the establishment of seven junior

likely that. had the bin passed, the

lished at Racine and Superior

ing the week. The bill, which is be-
ing drafted under the supervision of
Governor Blaine, is 10 be short and
simplified measure, under which il is
hoped to get uniform enforcement
with the federal government of the
dry laws of the state. That there will
be clashes between the Anti-Saloon
league and friends of the new meas
ure seems almost certain. Assembly

where drinks are sold was purposely
left out of the dry act because of the

and said that these places should ne
open 50 that people could see what
was going on.
