TO REVISE NETWORKS CHARTER.

Albany, Feb (specaD.-The bill of Assembly
man Fallows providing for commission TO revise
the charter of NewYork City will be reported from
the Assembly Committee Cities tomorrow with
several amendments. These changes follow more
less in line with the recommendations or Gov
ernor Roosevelt They have been made to meet
the objections OF those who urged that the bill was
TO establish a commission similar to that or the
Mazet Committee. The amendments are four In
number:
First-That the commission shall consist OF fifteen
members appointed by the Governor instead or
eleven.
Second-That they shall be paid $40 day for each
day OF attendance except those who are salaried
officials OF New-York City who are to serve without
compensation.
Third-That the report is to be delivered to the
Governor, to be transmitted by him to the Legfs-
lature.
Fourth-Tbat the report shall be submitted
or before December l. 1900, instead of January IT,
1901.
1t is also the intention of the bill that the Gov
ernor shall appoint the members of the commission
regardless of their political faith. Its purposes.
therefore are made partisan, and intended
solely to ascertain what faults exist in the charter
evidenced by the experience of the last three

shall be issued by the Superintendent of Insurance
if in his opinion the of the corporation apply
ing therefor so closely resembles that of al
ready transacting business in this State as to

The bill introduced in the Assembly by Mr. Roden-
beck, relating to separation of values in assessing
property is designed to remedy the evil of dscrim-
ination in making assessment of real estate. The
bill follows the suggestion of the State Commerce
Commission, which recommended that assessors
should be required to state not only the entire
value of each parcel of real estate but also should
set down In separate column the value of the
land. This has been the law in Massachusetts, for
many years and has recently been adopted in
New-Jersey with excellent results.
Assembiyman Remsen to-day introduced a bill in
the House. which provides for the removal of the
Kings County Penitentiary from the XXIVth Ward
In Brooklyn to Barren Island, and authorizes the

MADISON SQUARE BANK CASE.
COURT OF APPEALS DECIDES AGAINST THE

Albany Feb. 6.-The Court of Appeals has re-

affirmed the decision of the referee dsmissing the
complaint OF Miles NJ. o Brien and James G.. Can

the East River Bridge Company to recover $50 600.

The receivers OF the bank argued that the
transaction thus described was violation Of
the State law which forbids the transfer OF the
assets of insolYent company by a director of
that company for the purpose of favoring a par

The finding of the Judges relates that the fail

TO AMEND THE BANKING LAW.
HR. MEWAN'S BILL RELATING TO INVEST
MENT OF SAVINGS BANKS FUNDS

Albany Feb (SpeciaD.-One OF the most impor-
tant bills before the Legislature was considered
by the Assembly to-day, bill of semblyman Nc
Evans amendi ag the Banking law as to en-
large the field for the investment of the funds OF
the savings banks of the State With nearly, IL not
quite, 81 100000 to invest the officers Of the
savings banks it is said find it difficult to
ample gilt edged" stocks. bonds and mortgages for
investment purposes.
In guarded way, therefore. the Legislature has
recently been authorizing the investment Of the
money of savings banks in certain mortgage bonds
of various prominent and we'll managed railway
companies. The bill of Mr.. McEwan adds the bonds
of the Chicago and Alton Railroad Company 10 this
list so that the entire list will contain the follow
ing railways: The Chicago and Northwestern Rail-
road Company the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad Company, the Michigan Central Railroad
Company, the Illinois Central Railroad Company,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company, the Delaware Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad Company, the New
York New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company,
the Boston and Maine Railroad Company the Maine
Central Railroad Company and the Chicago and
Alton Railroad Company.
Assemblyman McEwan however. in his act fur
Their extends the provisions for savings bank in
vestment in this class of securities by providing
that the money may be invested in "a first mort
gage of the whole or a part mortgage which is the
first mortgage on either the whole some part of
the railroad and railroad property actually in the
possession of and operated by such company, "or
that such bonds shall be mortgage bonds of an H.
sue retire all prior mortgage debt of such rail-
road company"
1t will be apparent that Mr.. McEwan's act thus
not only applies to the securities OF the Chicago
and Alton Railway Company but also to the
tiles of other railways mentioned, extending largely
the field OF investment in them. The original act
and the present act further say that the savings
banks can make such an investment in the bonds OF
the companies under the following circumstances:
Provided that at the time Of making such in,
he Qafd al have eoa4a ,A
paid regular dividends of not less than per-
centum per annum In cash all their issues of
ca pita stock for the ten years next preceding such
Investment and provided the capital stock OF any
OF said railroad corporations shall equal or exceed
in amount one-third Of the par value of all its
bonded Indebtedness
On unanimous vote OF the House the bill was
recommitted.
