There was an animated struggle in the Senate
at Albany yesterday over the question whether
Mr. Pavey's School bill should he transferred
from the Committee on Cities TO the Committee
ON Education The reasons given for the change
were unanswerable. and no effort was made to
answer them. Senator Pavev's request was sup
ported by the Lieutenan-Governor who frankly
admitted that he was in error year ago in hold
ing that educational bills should 20 TO tho Com

sons, Mr.. Pavey was unable to carry his point.

10 the Chamber Of Commerce yesterday ana
will be acted on at the March meeting. The
special committee has made careful inquiries.

command pretty general approval. The prin-
cipal recommendation is that a law should be
passed limiting the height of buildings accord

does not specify the proportion of height TO wldth
which is most advisable. The subject Is one de-
serving thoughtful attention. and the puphf
