ALBANY, Jan. Ie.-Assemblyman Timothy p.
Sullivan Dem, N. " seems to be getting ahead
Of his relative, Senator Timothy Dry Dollar Bull
Ivan, with whom he was associated last year in
tho introduction Of the class Of bills which have
long distinguished Senator Sullivan for indus
try and ingenuity. Up to last year young
Tim as he 10 known, used to carry q little
satchel containing big Tins" bills and the
correspondence relating thereto had with the
corporations whose businons many Of the bills
! unfavorably affected. Young Tim acted a. an
agent and confidential messenger for Big Tim.
Last year Big Tins growing Importance as
on cast side Tammany leader made II possible
for him to nominate and elect his young kins-
man to tho Assembly and 80 make moro ade-
quate provision for conducting the Legislative
affairs of the Sullivan tribe.
The action of Senator Cantor and the other
Democratic leaders in making a political Issue
OF dollar gas interfered somewhat with the Sulli.
van product OF cheap gas bills. The electric
light companies, however. have not been off,
cially laid open to the attacks Of the Organized
Democracy as q party, and to-day young MIR.
Sullivan bobbed up in tho Assembly with q bill,
similar to one no introduced last year, provid-
ing that electric light companies In Now York
city shall not charge more than three-quarters
Of O cent an hour for each incandescent light,
nor more than 1 cents an hour for each aro light.
Mr.. Sullivan said he did.notsknow whatschargea
were made now, but no thought tho figures
named in his bill would DO about right. He
added that he would move before long for O
legislative committed to.investlgate the sub
ject. The bill has.not yet been introduced in
the other House by Senator Sullivan.
Assemblyman Mitchell. n::Democrat, who halls
from tho borough Of the Bronx, introduced q
bill which is apparently aimed at the Huckle-
berry road under its combination with the
Third Avenue Railroad, recently effected. 1t

elevated railroad operated by horse. steam. ca
HE. or electric power shall charge moro than
five centss'for a.single fare to.or from any point
within the corporate limits of tho city. nor
shall more than one faro be exacted for trans
porting any passenger on the road Of any rail-
road within the limits Of such city,,
duced a bill. which would affect seriously tho
business business Of bin posters ies, IN New York city, It

Assemblyman Brennan Caep.. Kings,. Chair
man of the Committee onTaxatlon and Retrcnch-
ment. has introduced his bill Of last year, provid-
ing for home rule In local taxation. This year
the bill is amended so as to dispose of criticism
on the ground that It could not permit license
taxes. The bill allows Boards Of Aldermen aud
Supervisors to exempt persona! property from
taxation for local purposes and provides that no
exemption Of property from local taxation shall
affect the proportion of State taxes TO be paid
by the county making the exemption. Mr..
Brennan says the bill Is Endorsed by labor or
ganizations and farmers oranges.
Neither house was in session to-day moro
than five or ten minutes, and little was done

year Is that OF Senator Ellsworth nppropriat-
Ing S27. 500 for the contingent expenses Of tho
Legislature. This measure passed the Senate
last. night, and the Assembly today.
