PLANS FOR ECONOMY.
oDELL SAID TO FAVOR
ABOLSHMENT OF SEVERAL
COMMISSIONS.

Albany. Dec "a (speciaD.-It was rumored to-day
in the capital that Governor-elect OdeH favors as
one means of reducing the States expenses the
consolidation of various commissions and the re-
duction of the number of salared commissioners
attached TO some.
Thus it was said that the Prison Commission
might be abolished and it's duties conferred upon
the FIVE State oficers-the Secretary of State.
the Controller. the State Treasurer. the At
torney-General and the State Engineer. The
Constitution declares that there must be a Prison
Commission. but says nothing about its members.
and the State officers, it is held could perform all
the work OF the present Commission. None of the
members of the present Prison Commission receive
a salary. but they have travelling expenses, and
necessarily they have a small staf Of employees.
1t is probable that Mr.. Odell feels that the or
ganizatfon of new commissions has brought about
the appointment of various costly patches of sec
retaries clerks and stenographers. and that there
the abolition of some of the commissions would
reduce the States expenses.
There is also a feeling on the part Of some lead
ing Republicans that the Forest, Fish and Game
in charge of Commissioner. The present
Forest, Fish and Game Commission is costly
body, each in it receiving salary. Then there
are good many employees.
1t was hinted to-day that Mr. Odell might favor
a reorganization of the State Commission In
Lunacy. but this rumor may have arisen because
there is a vacancy in the Commission caused by
the removal of DIR. Peter NJ. Wise. The terms of
office of the other two Commissioners. William
Church Osborn and William L. Parkhurst. will not
expire the coming year. A Republican politician
said a few days ago: From an organization point
of view the organization has never received its
rights from the State Commission That simply
means that In his opinion the organization has

A great deal is being said about the peculiarly
mild weather prevailing but a glance at the
weather charts for previous Christmas times
shows that in reality the present conditions are
abnormal
Yesterday was not so warm many people
thought. the highest temperature in the morning
being 81 degrees. while last year on the same
date the highest temperature was 50 degrees
The record for December "a is "a degrees. which
was made that date in 1886
The noteworthy feature about the weather con-
ditions this year is that they are the same as
those which prevailed last year.
The forecast for to-day is fair and colder Freez-
ing weather is rophesed for tonight, with fresh
TO brisk westerly winds
This city has not had a snowfall Christmas
Day since 1892, when there fall of three
