Bill Introduced in Minnesota Legislature— Patterned After Penn. Law
(Special to WID'S DAILY) Minneapolis— A bill is being presented to the Minnesota legislature sponsored by 700 women of Lesueur County, providing for censorship of a drastic sort.
The bill provides for an arbitrary censorship of films, slides and stereoptican views at the expense of the state administration. It is figured that this would cost the state $74,000 a year. The bill provides for a cenor board with three members, each to receive a yearly salary of $3,000 and for a staff of assistants numbering 21, these to be appointed by the governor. The measure provides for a fee of $2 for each 1,000 ft. of film reviewed or for films of less than that length.
It is practically a copy of the Pennsylvania censorship bill with more rigid provisions. Another measure, a copy of the bill introduced two years ago is also pending. This was introduced by a man named Peterson of Moorehead.

"U" Fire Involves $100,000 Loss
Universal sustained a loss by fire yesterday of $100,000 when a building at 42nd St. and Ave. E., Bayonne, N. T., was destroyed by fire.
The company used about a fourth of the structure to house old films. The Cellofilm Co., occupied part of it and it was in these quarters that the fire is supposed to have originated. The M. P. Realty Co., was the owner of the building, having bought it from Universal several years ago. This was the building in which David Horsley used to work and was one of the oldest of its kind in the east. Total loss was sustained, but the amount involved could not be learned yesterday.
