Albany. Feb l2The question Of the State es-
tablishng grain elevators a. New-York and Buffalo
came up for another discussion before the Assembly
Ways and Means Committee this afternoon Il Was
agreed before the hearing opened that each eide
should have half hour present its side Of the
question. The bill IS that Of Assemblyman Spring.
weller Of Erie County. and # provides that two
elevators shall be established In Buffalo and four in
New-York The argument against the bill was
opened by Spencer Clinton Of Buffalo. II was true.
he said. that there was an association OF e.eVator
men in Buffalo. but l. was not trust, as alleged
Mr. Clinton appeared. he said not for the elevator
interests but for himself; for he knew that people
whom he represented personally would be ruined by
he success of the measure. The canal-Doat men
were not b-ing ruined. was alleged because the
elevators cut rates. but because the improved faci-
ties u the railroads made il possible to transport
grain at a less rate. For forty years the canals
had remained a standst. while the railroads had
gone forward Captain Depuy. Of New-York. dd-
vocate1 the bin in the same vigorous manner IN
which he spoke at the former hearing.

GENERAL. ROY STONE FOR GOOD ROADS
THE sTATE-AID SYSTEM ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
OF FARMERS

Albany. Feb l2.-General Roy Stone, who is con-
nected with the United States Agricultural Depart
ment. appeared before the Assembly Ways and
Means Committee this afternoon and advocated the
Statc-aid system OF good roads. In referring TO
the Higbe Good Roads Investigating Committee
he stated that committee of the Legislature had
ever done it, work with more care. New-York State
far behind the other States in the matter Of
good roads The State Of New-Jersey had the best
road system and might well feel proud OF what II
had done. The leading idea in building good roads
should be- tina, they might be feeders 10 the railroads
and furnish lines into the market towns.
John 4. Crocker. Of bethlehem. wished the COM
mittee 10 take into consideration the matter OF econ
omy There was time when farm land was worth
much more than at present. Farm land was so
unprOductive that a farmer now could hardly make
a living. This being the case. IT was best Tor the
State to cause Increased taxes FOR good roads.
