ALBANY, April 20, 1878.
The reference of the Holanan bill to the Senate
Judiciary Committee to-day, on tho motion OF Sen
ator Marvin would bode no good TO the
measure were IL for the conhdcnt
belief OF IT'S friends that there votes enough
In Cnambe pass It irrespective OF the recon-
mendation OF any committee whatsoever The prob.
able reason Tor this reference doubt to the pro-
priety OF vcsting supervisory powers over Excise
Commissions granted by the bill to Police
Commissioners and Chiefs Of Police. This
would, 1t is alleged. mako Excise Commits
sioners merely police subordinates, and would
destroy responsibility In the administration OF their
Offices and give the police authorities power entirely
distinct from their proper functions as instruments
for the detection and punishment Of offences against
the laws 1t is commended that the granting Of license
privileges cannot safely be put in OF those
who make complaints against offenders and
effect their arrest
OPPOSITION STATEMENTS.
The DIRECTORS urge that In New York city this fea-
of the Hoahan law would make police author
tiles supreme and solo In matters OF excise,
ana accomplish by indrection scheme which has
not met with popular appreciation. IN nearly
all interior cities the Mayor a member and gen.
orally the president OF the Police Board, and tho
change MADE in Mr. Holahans bill from the mayors
police authorities the final repositories Of DIS
cretonary power the granting licenses was, It
urged substantially change, and open to the
objection OF leaving q State subject entirely under
local and partisan CONTROL without direct and avowed
responsibility 1t is quite likely that this objection
originates IN the hopes OF those who desire pre-.
the final enactment OF the law BY the action Of
The Executive, If not OF the Senate.
REFERENCE
