CREEK DRAINAGE.
Representative Keel has made
a hard fight for the Village Creek
drainage bill adopted by the sen
ate, but his efforts have proba
bly failed. When the measure
was called up for second reading
Tuesday afternoon Representa
tive Keel objected, and Finley
of Lawrence came to his aid by
offering a motion to indefinitely
postpone the bill, which was lost (
on a vive voce vote. Mr. Keel :
then asked that the bill be made
special order for Wednesday1
morning at 9 o’clock, on which j
Mr. Ruff called for the ayes and ,
noes. The motion to make spe
cial order was lost by a vqte of
36 to 29. Owing to the adjourn
ment Thursday noon the chances
are the bill failed to get a final j
hearing.
