MAYOR ACTS ON IT'S BILLS.
Accepts Measure Abolishing Sixty-fve Grade
Crossings in Brooklyn

Mayor Low yesterday issued summary of Iegis-
Iative bills received by him from Albany on which
he has acted. He received 175 bills. of which he ac-
cepted S., rejected So reserved and returned s.
The Mayor refused to accept the bill increasing
the salaries Of justices of the Municipal Court to
5000, because since the present salary was fixed
the Jurisdiction of the court has been considerably
enlarged. He says that every public officer is like
" to have his duties increased less by
action of the legislature and it would be
dangerous precedent to establish that every such
increase necessarily entitled the official more
pay.
He accepts the bill amending the powers OF the
Controller as to wallabout Market so as 10 provide
that on and after April 80. 1904 liquor shall be
sold or offered for sale in the Wallabout Market
lands.
In declining to accept the bill to provide for for
local improvements by annual instalment payments
the Mayor is controlled by two consideration
nv his general objection TO instalment assessments
and nv the fact that the system provided for by
the hin does not supersede the system provided
FOR by the charter. but simply affords alterna-
tive method for the carrying forward of local I'M
provements.
,nps in BROOKLYN. He says there already six
ty-fye grade crossings In Brooklyn that will be
abolished by this measure. several OF which
crossings used by trolley cars. so that at any
moment a disaster may happen parallel to that
which befel in the city OF Newark last winter.
When all the streets of the territory affected are
actually open there would be les than leo
ings at grade unless the grade crossings are abel
tShed.

LIQUOR TAX LAW AMENDED.
Governor 0dell Signs Bill Establishing
Stamp Tax for Druggists Sales.

Albany Nav s-Governor Odell to-day signed
Senator Green's bill amending the Liquor Tax
law in the respects asked fOr by the State Excise
Commissioner. 1t authorizes the appointment Of
second deputy commissioner at a salary OF SSoOO,
and under bond of $4,000 1t changes to half-and-
half, in accordance with the division of the ex-
else receipts the ratio of various expenses TO be
paid by the State and the local governments. and
authorizes the employment OF special assistant dis
trIct attorneys to conduct excise litigation when
required by district attorneys.
The most important change involved in the new
law is the establishment of a system OF stamp
taxes for druggists sales of liquor. Under this
provision druggists may sell in quantities not ex-
ceeding one pint without a physicians cert1hcate'
but each pint sold must bear a ten cent stamp
to be furnished by the Excise Department Only
one such sale may be made to any one person on
any one dav: the sales subject TO all restrfc-
lions to hours, no-license votes and other mat
ters. and record of names, dates. and quantity
sold must be kept.
The bill also reduces the penalty a tax bond
to the amount, plus one-half OF the tax Tor one
at the place licensed provided that no penalty
be less than $500 The police are TO be notified i'm
mediately of the revocation of any license. the
bill reduces from five to three years the time after
be issued, and IT meets recent court decisions oy
striking the requirement that the certificate
statement certifying guilt or innocence II also
comedies to the liquor dealers that second con-
victon for violation, in order to effect revocation
of license must be the second Within the same IL
cense year.
A further concession authorizes the court, upon
conviction for a single sale of liquor without u
regular tax for that place for one year. This will
operate allow fine of $500 instead OF s20O under
would have been the minimum fine under the law
prior to the ~ccent amendment increasing the tax.

1ections TO the bill. that it unconstitutional
placed the rights of this city in jeopardy and
might preserve franchises given by old towns and
