ernment activity took another
step forward Wednesday.
The Senate Finance Committee

The House Wednesday com
pleted legislative approval of $100
monthly aid to the blind. Sen.
William Beltz sponsored the bill
which has also passed the Sen
ate.
The Senate killed by postpone
ment a bill forbidding local elec
tions to be held on Territorial
election days.
It approved unanimously the
House bill allowing up to a $300
fine, instead of the present $100,
for violations of municipal ordin
ances.
The bill also allows ordinances
for suspending driver’s licenses
and lifts the per diem of persons

The Senate passed unanimously
the bill for a $18,000 deficiency
