The bill stemmed from a fight in Thurston County as to whether the people should be given a vote on mnation proceedings brought by the Thurston County PUD to acquire properties of Puget Sound Power and Light Co. within the county.

A somewhat similar fight tied up the House in 1951 over what was called the Spokane Power Bill. AMEND Opponents of the Thurston County power bill have attempted since Tuesday to amend it to death. A 4 hour session Thursday night was devoted to efforts of opponents of the bill to amend an amendment. A series of amendments were beaten back by supporters of the bill, usually by a 54-44 margin. Opponents also attempted to sidetrack the measure into committees and oblivion without success.

They came "close on one attempt to put the bill in the powerful Senate Rules Committee. The motion lost by a tie vote of 49-49. A move to kill the bill by having it laid on the table lost 55-43. Supporters of the measure beat down by the same vote a move to send the measure to the Committee on Higher Education, but it took 25 minutes to complete an oral roll call which normally requires only 8 minutes. Some of the members disappeared during the vote like children playing hide and go seek.
