The bill comes to me at a late hour in
The session and have time to state only
one or two OF the many reasons tor my aC
| ton.
The provisions of the bill are so many
so remarkable in character and 50 bur
densome in operation, that they should
not be adopted without the careful con
sideraton OF both branches OF the Legis
lature, and | am informed that in the
House of Representatives the bill wa.
read by its title only.
Another objection lies in the fact tha
by the provisions of section three all o
the regulations which may be promul
gated by said board are declared to b,
legal enactments.
am of the opinion that the Legisls turt
has not the authority to delegate sucl
powers ; and If such authority existed,
am of the opinion that 1t should not be ex
ercISed.
