ALBANY, March lo.-The Assembly to-
night unanimo lsly adopted a concur
rent resolution fixing Friday, Marc Fl.
as the date Of the final adjournment OF
the Legislature. On its receipt in the
Senate II was referred TO the Finance Com
mittee. The Finance Committee last week
expected il would favor a resolution 10
adjourn on March 2S. but now the Senate
Republican leaders are questioning whether
they can ad journ until the first week in
April.
Senator Dowling introduced proposed
amendment 70 the Constitution providing
that "the Legislature may regulate and
fix the wages or ealaries the hours of work
or labor, and make provision for the pro-
lection, welfare and safety of persons
employed by the State or by any county,
city, town. village or other civil division
of the State, or by any contractor or sub
contractor performing work, labor or SER
vices for the State, or for any county, city,
town, village or other civil division thereof. y
A peculiar state of affairs was disoov-
cred Ia the Assembly when bill introduced
bv the Committee on Taxation came up
on third reading. II purports 10 amend
the act of last year in relation 10 taxation OF
banks stock a. personal property. Mr.
Treat, though. discovers that II in reality
taxes the stock Of private bankers, by
exempting it from personal taxation, pro-
viding reports are filed with the state Comp
troler. Last year Gov. Odelis bill pro-
viding for the taxation Of private bankers
was not pressed for passage. and Mr.. Treat
who is private banker, thinks this is a
bill carrying out that scheme.
Mr. Morgan, chairman Of the Assembly
Taxation Committee, explains that the
bill was given TO him by Senator hrum
and that il was necessary TO perfect the
laws taxing savings banks and trust com
panies passed last year. The bill was laid
aside TO permit the introducer TO find out
what il really does mean.
Although the Taminany members pro-
tested, the Assembly passed Mr.. Sey-
complete the bridge over the Bronx RIVER
at Westchester avenue, notwithstanding
Mr., Gherardi Davis called II vicious
measure and one that upstate members
would not support If II applied to their
districts.
The Assembly advanced Mr. Kesey's
bill empowering the New York City Dock
Commissioner to extend and improve the
New York city docks on North River be-
tween Bloomfield and West Twenty-third
streets. Mr.. Davis objects TO the bill on
the ground that it takes a mans property
without first paying him for II. The bill
will he fought on final passage 80,
