The bill, which passed the sen ate Monday by a 16-10 vote, found its temporary resting place when the house steering committee re fused to report it out. It is prob lematical whether or not it will reach the floor of the lower house this session. Should it be lost in committee, the optional fee proposal will go before the electorate of the state in November of 1936 as the result of a^xeferendum campaign carried on last spring when nearly 16,000 names were gleaned in a drive to get the issue on the ballot.
