THE LEGISLATURE CRITICISED.
Justice Gaynor Says a Law Plainly

Denied Reinstatement.

Justice Gaynor. Of the Supreme Court,
Brooklyn, this morning handed down a
decision denying the petition OF Peter
Lyman for reinstatement as assistant
bookkeeper Of the Hall Of Records. jus
tice Gay nor .criticized the Legislature for
passing the law governing the case in
point, which, he holds, shows plainly
the "'prentice hand" His opinion In
substance Is:
On Dec. rs, 1904 the Board OF Supervisors OF
Kings Couty passed resolution reappointing the
petitioner assistant keeper OF the County Hall
Of Records for and during the year 1894 he hav-
ing been previously appointed to the place for the
year 1893. on Feb. 70. 1894, the Board OF super
petitioner without any cause having been assigned
and a hearing had thereon. The pc
titioner claims his removed was illegal and asks
for q mandamus to reinstate him. Chapter bT OF
the laws OF 1855 made veteran volunteer hrcmen
appointed to saiaried positions irremovnble except
for cause after a hearing. 1t is claimed
that this act exempts from Its scope persons APP
pointed for a definite term. The petitioner was
appointed for one year.
/ The act provides that no person holding a POSI-
tion by appointment in any city or county OF this
etae, otr who may hereafter be appointed recev-
ing a salary from such city or county unless he
has been appointed for definite terml who IL an
honorably discharged soldier, &c. shall be re-
moved &C. The phraseoogy and construction arc
bungling and Indicate the prentice hand, SO
common to statutes In later years but !
think the parenthetical exception was used only
20 make It impossible for persons appointed for
definite terms to claim that by reason OF the act
they could stii hold their places after the expira-
tisn Of their terms. This may seem absurd eau
tion. and therefore not to be attributed to the
Legislature but the courts must get some mean
ins GU q the exception ANY other construction
would be wholly unreasonable.

BROOKLYN.
TAXES MAY Be REDUCED.
Cutting Brooklyn Budget Saves
the City Nearly 100000.
Aldermen Expected . Favor, but
Were Disappointed

After cutting the city and county bud
get nearly s2.OOO,00O, and reducing the
cost of expenses of the city and county
almost a million dollars over last year,
the Brooklyn Board of Estimate met
this morning and found that the amount
only exceeded the 2 per cent. limit by
s66, AHA. This Is exclusive Of the cost OF
operating the new wards recently an
ncxed to the city.
The tabulated statement prepared by
Secretary Price for Mayor Schieren will
be greeted as cheerful news to the tax
payers. as II Is possibly the first time
in the recent history OF the city when
the expenses have been reduced over
the preceding year 1t has always been
the custom to allow an increase of s
per cent. In the amount asked by every
department each year to meet tha ex-
penses attending the natural growth
of the city and county. This has ac-
counted for the annual increase in the
tax rate.
BY saving nearly a million dollars
over last year. Mayor Schieren an
nounced that instead OF increasing the
tax rate he hoped this year to reduce
1t about one cent.
The city has many extra expenses to
meet through the annexation Of the
county towns. and It was expected that
an increased tax rate would be unavoid-
able.
The budget Is now cut down to the
minimum figure. and the Board this
morning could not cut the extra SCI. 600
out until the various appropriations al
ready allotted had been reconsidered.
| The Board was forced to adjourn until
| the Corporation Counsel could form an
opinion regarding the expenses OF the
newly annexed towns. which Is esti-
mated at 800, 900.
| II this amount has to be counted In
with the 2 per cent. limit OF the city
| II will make the total $685. to be still
cut from the city budget.
Mayor Schieren thinks. however,
that the extra 100000 will be charged
against the assessed valuation in the
/ new wards.
Members OF the Board of Aldermen
who are ever looking for patronage re.
ceived a black eye from the Board OF
Estimate this morning.
