SACRAMENTO, Jan. 14.-In q
message from the Governor the fol-
| lowing bills were introduced en-
bodying the recommendation of
| the Commissioners of Transporta-
ton.
No. 1-Act amendatory of the
O'Connor Act of last session, de-
signed to remedy imperfections in
that act and render its provisi on s
more com plete and effective.
No. ENTITLED an Act in
relation to railroads. 1t may
be denominated IL police meas
ure. 1t forbids acts en-
dangering life or property on rail-
roads and provides the companies
with the means of enforcing order
and arresting for crime on boats or
trains in motion and at stations.
Nos. 8 and 4, entitled respectively,
An Act for the prevention of un-
just discrimination and for the regu-
lation of freigh and fares on rail-
roads IN this State, and An Act to
prevent railroad companies from
discriminating unjustly between
localities, are submitted to the
Legislature as alternative PROPOSE
tons. Though differently entitled,
the object of each is substantially
the same. The one is based
on the recommendations contained
in the supplementary report of
COMMISSIONS Smith, and the other
in the recommendation mum bered IL
in the report of the other Commits
sioners. The passage of either of
them would effect material re-
duction of the rates of transporta-
ton especially in the cost of NOV
ing the annual crops OF the State
to market. The precise amount
of such reduction to be effected by
either cannot be foreseeu with ac-
curacy for want of the statistical
information withheld by the great
Railroad Companies.

port CT the Transportation Com
missioners and bills prepared by
them in accordance with their re-
COIN ul6lluaUlOuS.

ment of the Legislature.
