THE NEW YORK GAS BILL.
Mr.. CROWLEY moved to discharge the Committee
ON Municipal Affairs from further consideration of
the New York Gas bill and that the same go to the
bill should properly go TO the Judiciary Committee,
but on account OF the lateness Of the session and
the public feeling thereon he wished the Senate 70
consider the bill directly. He admitted the need OF
regulation OF some kind. In the opinion Of three
lawyers OF the committee the bill involves points
clearly unconstitutional especially sections and lS
lie would, however, yield to the popular sentiment,
and therefore made his motion.
