ALBANY, April 2S.-The opening act in
both Houses this evening was listening TO the
reading Of veto messages from the Governor.
Each House was favored with four OF these in
terestnR communications. In tho Senate
there was the usual slim Monday night attend
ance about two-thirds being present. but the
vacant chairs were filled by Con. Spinola and
his wonderful shirt collar. the editor Of the
Erenin0 Journal. and other visitors. so that tho
genuine Senators we're not missed. and more
opportunity was given to Pomeroy Harris
Sessions. and the regular orators. who
wore on hand to talk. They had wasted
many hours in talking over the bills
which tho Governor tonight slaughtered in a
few terse sentences. but had nothing to say in
reply to his criticisms. The veto messages
were laid on the table, whore they will remain
undisturbed until the close OF the session.
One OF these was an act in rea-
ton to married women. which proposes
to give them the same rights in the
making OF contracts as though they were
single. OF II tho Governor says: This bill
makes some changes in the provisions OF the
present law rs to married women which. in my
opinion. are OF very doubtful value. There mas
already been too much legislation. rather than
too little, TO give to married women the full
benefit OF the principles engrafted on the law by
the acts OF 1913 and subsequent yeare on the
subject think 1t wiser to preserve the few ex-
listing limitations which yet remain. all OF which
would be wiped away by this bill"
Another veto WIS of an act authorizing the
town Of Corning to borrow money to pay the
interest upon bonds heretofore issued, and to
provide n sinking fund for the payment OF n
part OF said bonds and to issue bonds therefor
The Governor says he IL not willing to unite in
authorizing the local authorities OF any city or
village to begin the evil practice OF borrowing
money to pay the interest on their outstanding
obligations. II is not good practice for bust;
ness men To- pay compound interest and Ia still
worse Tor municipalities TO make the same mis-
take. 1t IL simply putting OF the day Of final
settlement and insuring Increased hardship
when II comes.
Another veto raps on the knuckles still an
other attempt to nut into practice the non-par
tsan rule bv providing that one Of the clerks
Of Boards OF Supervisors OF Elections shall be
u the same political party M the minority Of
the board The Governor renews his objections
in the following pointed language:
TIE amendmen provided by This bin Is prescription
ions referred I" hal" h, of an. same noiiei marty AZ
The minority members Of such Board have heretofore
ton which seeks to engrau upon the statute pro

tainty and controversy sure 10 arise under such
fhc pegnlaTiy OF the present one however that is
heretofore dsapprovcd 1.-THE same sort which were linn

cnorcn such direction, IL should be let-and. in spite
of such enactment II will be cit-tn the OF
pre to be exercised by every board In such matters
now a. perfectly protected they possibly be. aud
the enactment Of this provision accompanied By the
certainty which will follow T. will render these rights
less secure instead OF strengthening them.
Tho last was OF bill relative to the construc-
ton of fire insurance policies. The Governor
saws.
The object this act to provide that lien upon real
estate for labor or materials acquired by ung notice
under the statute for that purpose shall not he deemed
before Judgment thereon. an remembrance within the
meaning u an insurance policy, which provides that IL
shall become void n the property insured shall be

the effect q this bill. 4 enacted, will simply
the power OF the Legislature TO enact statute proe
TO put construction upon certain class at contracts 20
ancct the actus obligation OF the contractte Whether
mechanics lien Is. or IL not an encumbrance within
the autng of insurance contract Is fair
o. construction for the courts II IL be such
brance the legislature has constitutional right TO
strike out Of the contracts It II Is not such
brance the acts unnecessary.
In the Assembly. the vetoes wero OF the bill
amending the act regulating professions In
| cities on Sundays. so as 10 give the Grand
| Army OF the Republic the exclusive privilege OF
paradinR with music on Sunday. On this the
Governor says that he considers II unwise TO
grant privileges TO one society that would not
| be granted to another.
The bill comforting certain powers upon the
| Five Points House Of Industry was vetoed for
the reason that tho Governor regards the bill "a
| scarcely constitutional. IL directs the Board OF
| Estimate and ApportiOnment to make certain
appropriations. The city authorities he says
| protest against any further appropriations
| such as are provided for in the bill. lie also
| thinks the Legislature should not direct that
such appropriations shall be- made. but leave
| the matter 10 the local authorities.
