A CAPITOL QUESTION.
CAN THE PRESENT LEGISLATURE OCCUPY THE
NEW CHAMBERS AT ALBANY?

CAN THE PRESENT LEGISLATURE OCCUPY THE
NEW CHAMBERS AT ALBANY?
ALBANY. Dec. Q. 1873.
Discussion has arisen as to the right of the next
Legislature to meet in the new Capitol building.
Under the law the Legislature should meet at the
Capitol. but it is claimed by Governor Robinson.
who is confirmed III his opinion by Lieutenant
Governor Dorsheimcr, that the resolution which was
passed the last session declaring the building
to be the Capitol after January 1879 is not suf-
fcient to override the statute law declaring
the present old building the Capitol As considerable
inquiry has been made to the statute quoted, it
may be stated that it is chapter 1ss of the Laws Of
1909. passed March 80. 1909, entitled "An act to
amend the act entitled An act for regulating trials of
issues and for returning able and sufficient jurors.
and for other purposes" The first section of the
act provides for the return by supervisors. town
clerks and annually of the Of Jurors.
&c. The second section reads as follows:-
SEC 2And BIO further enacted that the of 81 coo
in addition 10 the sum granted this session ns and Is
% the Of
the Capitol aud that the said shall DO
sapentsnd the erection Of the building; from
and the M DAY Of ns Of u
held said city may be held In the said Capitol and
Mtss and az ss City
at the Capitol in the city of Albany.
This law is taken from the certified copy Of the
printed statutes in the Secretary Of States Office but
curiousiy enough the Deputy Secretary lAnthony
Iambl at that period in his written certificate the
y leaf of the book, speaks Of the laws 179 in
Der when the law just quoted is No. lss. He makes
two written certificates with this same mistake
in each The Attorney General is not here and
the question has not been submitted to him
ofiicaily Until ii is he render no
official opinion. But the existence of the above
quoted law points to the probability that the new
Legislature will have to meet in the old building first
and pass an officially denomnating the new build
ing as the Capitol. The old Assembly Chamber can
be occupied as usual but the Senate Chamber being
occupied by the Court OF Appeals the Senate will
probably have to hold its session in the room for
erly occupied by the Court OF Appeals. over the old
Assembly post office and cloak rooms

formed and that less haste would have secured the
stocks OF smaller prices. The trunk line shares with

4 TO 1os per cent, although closing at reaction
from lowest figures. The coal stocks have repre-
scented little legitimate business, large portion of
the reported transactions having been q simple
