One of the most important bodies In the state
of Ncw-York Is the Statutory Revision 'ohilis-
sion. Unfortunately it has not always maze the
most of its opportunity to guard the Sta'e
aCainst careless legislation. as study or some
of the wonderful jumbles In our stature DOCKS
will show Its primary function is 10 recon-
mend TO the Legislature bills slmphryihg 'ne
laws and removing contradictions from 'hein
but il has come about that one or more OF 'he
Commissioners undertakes to examine DIS
awaiting the Governors signature ana ADVISE
him on legal points involved and discover any
defects from careless drawing or rascaily UNI
perlng which might give the measure diuer-
cnt effect from that which 1t purpOrted to have.
In Wow of the mass Of legislation crowded
through each session the importance OF such
work is manifest. Even with the present care
mnny bills become laws only to open discus
sion as to their Interpretation The question OF
split tickets under the Ballot law Is case IN
point The law gives two exactly contrary d.
rectons on the subject. one to the voters and
another to the inspectors.
This CITY has q great interest In the efficiency
of this Commission and in Its knowledge or
local laws and conditions. In $685. thanks to
Governor Black only ten amendments to the
charter were passed, but In making those ten
amendments one section was altered twice
within a week That was careless lawmaklng,
and If II continues the statutes relating to New
York City alone promise to give the Commits
sioners enough work for at least one expert on
New-York affairs. Nor Is there much prospect
that charter alterations will not continue to be
made but. on the contrary, every indication
that amendments will be increasingly neces-
sary Governor Black was wise In insisting
that the new charter should so far as possible,
operate without change for the first year But
as time goes on sections are likely to be found
which do not give the results anticipated by the
trainers Of the charter and which circumstances
alter so as TO require new laws. Every Legis-
lature Is likely to be flooded with bills to amend
our city charter some few Of them good. most of
them bad Perhaps fifth Of the bills which will
reach the Governor in any session will have re-
lation to this city. and will need careful and dis
interested scrutiny by a New-York lawyer.
It does not do TO rely on volunteer and pri-
vatc interest in legislation. Associations clubs
and individuals watch the reports and protest
against measures vicious on their face. But the
innocent looking local bill escapes them, and
they pay little attention TO the details and word
ing of bills If the Statutory Revision Commits
sion Is to give valuable assistance to the Gov
1t would seem advisable that at least one of its
members should be New-YOrk City lawyer.
All three members at present come from the in
terror Of the State. and since 1880, when the act
was passed creating the Commission. the terri
tory Of the present enlarged city has never had
a representative upon IT..
