"The House assembled at 2 p.m., Speaker Noyes in the chair. Mr. Reed of Taunton gave notice that he will move to amend the Joe V. Meigs elevated railroad bill, which authorizes any railroad corporation now organized to build, maintain and operate an elevated railway with such gauge of tracks and elevation as the railroad commissioners may determine.
