RAINES BILL PASSED.
HARD WORDS FROM THE SENATOR TO
MAKE HIS CONFRERES VOTE AYE

Albany. March ls-By the narrowest possible
margin Senator Raines succeeded this morning in
getting his Anu-sham Hotel bill passed by the
Senate.
The bill provides for the enforcement by To-
calties Of local ordinances relative TO buildings,
their construction in accordance with the Buildings
law and their maintenance in accordance with SAN
itary and health laws and Fire Department ordi-
nauces. The measure drafted by the State
Excise Department. and progressed by the
work OF Senator Raiues
The debate on the bill was lengthy. Among
those who took part Senators Bracket. Foley.
Elsherg and Raines. Senator Bracket said he
would for the bin the assurance Of Sen
ator Raines that ii would affect the legitimate
hotel business. Senator Foley said he was op-
posed the bill because it transferred the burden
oS responsibility for the enforcement Of the Liquor
Tax law from the State TO the local authorities,
along with the expense therefor. incidentally Sen
ator Foley declared that Raines law hotels were
breeding places OF vice and crime. and by the
introduction Of this bill Senator Raines confessed
that they were.
had done their duty there would be no need OF
this legislation. 1t simply to compel them 10
do their duty that this measure needed and
should be passed. The vote taken but before
il was announced the introducer asked for a de-
tailed statement. he had not sufficient num-
ber Of votes to pass the bill. Senator Raines said
I am surprised that Republican Senators who
supposed to stand for the enforcement or me
against the enactment of this measure which is is
FOR the enforcement Of law and the maintenance
of order 1t is surprising 10 me that they nave aye
failed to support bin which simply conpels the
local authorities 10 do their duty In relation 70
certain so-called hotels. This bill makes the
buildings and ire departments responsible Tor the
enforcement Of building laws. and ! claim that II
rhe law had been properly enforced such q no'eI
disaster as occurred at the Park Avenue Hotei IN
New-YOrk City recently could not nave taken
place. -, 49,.
am not railing against the Democrats who have
voted against this bill but at the Republicans.
The Democrats stand for the enforcement OF no
law and hand in glove with the thousands or
volators of the law. ] Erieved that RepuO-
lican Senators Will associate themselves with those
against the enforcement OF law. and stand TOT
hotels that only exist through the neglect OF
local authorities.
Senator Elsberg said that he was against the
lii because the Superintendent OF Buildings OF
New-York had informed him that with a THOUSAND
additional inspectors the department could not
carry the provisions Of the proposed law IL
imposed a burden on the Buildings Department
which II could not carry.

berg were speaking. asked several Republicans TO
