RAPID TRANSIT AMENDMENTS.
STATE BOARDS REDUCED.
GREATER EFFICIENCY AS WELL, AS
ECONOMY SECURED BY
CONSULTATIONS

Four laws have been enacted pursuant to the
recommendations of Governor Odel consolidating as
many State commissions under single heads The
purpose OF such consolidation. according to the
Governor has been both render greater eff
cheney possible in the management of the State
departments and TO reduce the States expenses
In his message at the opening OF the legislature
the Governor said
One of the most important matters to which the
attention OF the legislature should be given is the
possibility of consolidating abolishing many OF
the commissions which have been heretofore
created for the care supervision and control of the
various interests OF the State Many OF these have
Outgrown their usefulness. Legislation in recent
years has enlarged and in many cases duplicated
the work, until their many officials, with the ac-
companyIng salaries. expenses and other incden tai
outlays. have to proportions inconsistent with
due regard TO the interests OF the taxpayers. In
this connection your attention is called to the
appropriated by the last Legislature for the
salaries and Office expenses OF some of these various
commissions.
The changes that have been made although not
resulting In great saving as the Governor first
expected, will nevertheless cut down the State
budget by than $4,000 The amount Of
money saved best be shown by the following
tables Here are the offices that have been aboI-
ished:
New-York tribune., 1901-04-24

Thus the consolidation of the Board of Mediation
and Arbitration. the office Of Factory Inspector and
the Bureau of Labor Statistics. and the establish
ment OF single commissioner with a salary OF
50 800 and two deputies Sc 500 each, as provided
for In the bill of Assemblyman Costello. in
tended result in a reduction OF $1550O. The Gov
ernor expects that by the abolition of other ex-
penses OF these departments the curtailment will
reach $1,000
The eight members of the Prison Commission
whose compensation at $40 for each day of service
amounted for the last fiscal year to 1856. have
been supplanted by one salaried commissioner. as
sociated with two unsaaried commissioners of the
Land Office. The chief commissioners salary is to
be 8. 500 The Governor expects further economy
in this department bring about a reduction OF
$40 900 In It's expenses.
The consolidation of the Forestry. Fish and Game
Commission and the Forest Preserve Board turns
out of office five commissioners having total sal
aries of $4,000 and places in their stead one sal
aried official 5000 His two associates are COM
missoners from the Land Office. serving without
extra pay The total amount TO be saved in this
department by the change is $4,000.
l. The act which has established in office the new
Commissioner of Health provides that he must be
a physician Of ten years experience In actual
practice of his profession. The term of the first
commissioner is to expire December 81, 1904. and
thereafter his successor shall be appointed for
term of four years. The commissioner
ceive salary of $500 and is empowered to employ
such clerical stan, as may be a
under the commissioners supervision.
Another act carrying out recommendation of
the Governor and introduced by Senator Amber
relieves somewhat the work of the Health Depart
ment and transfers TO the State Agricultural De-
partment the supervision of all food products
cept beverages, confectionery and drugs. The act
also prohibits the sale of adulterated food In this
State and defines what foods shall be judged
adulterated

idaton of the State Board of Charities was not
enacted into law because Of the opposition which
the proposition aroused In every part of the State
This was the only recommendation along these
lines, however. that has not been made statute
