that instead of the okeT-SteaTns build
ing being centrally located. il was practi-
cally at the end Of the business section Of

1ght Against supreme Court Reporter
ALBANY. March So Assemblyman La
Rue's BILL which seeks to get cheaper law
books for lawyers, passed the senate to-day
and now goes TO the Governor. While
the bill may mean that Marcus T. Hun
will not be retained ~ the Supreme Court
reporter, still that II not the object Of the
bill, for the only contention that Mr. La Rue
has made was that the price charged for
law books WIS too high, The bill makes
the price $3.50 a volume, instead Of g. A.
now charged and also puts the Supreme
Court reporter on = salary Of 500 n year.
Mr.. Hun had said over hls own signature
that he received from the printer who had
the contract to publish the Supreme Court
reports only 5000 volume, editing eleven
In q year, and that after his s1penses had
been deducted he had made less than $40, 900
The La Rue bill provides that the Supreme
Court reporter shall receive an ample al
lowance for the expenses Of his Office In
siiting the reports, The Supreme Court
reporter Is 10 he appointed by the Justices
Of the Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court, who are 20 meet in Albany on Monday

AIBS~JY March 8O.-Gov. Higgins has
given out the following statement defend
ing his State Water Commission bill, which
has been introduced by Assemblyman

The determinations Of the proposed State
Water Supply Commission would be re-
viewable by writ Of certiorari under the
general provisions Of the Code Of Civil Pro-
cedure, on the application Of the city Of
New York or Of any other aggrieved party,
by the Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court OF the department in which the de-
termination was made. On such review
the court would determine upon the merits
whether there was upon all the evidence
preponderance Of proof in favor Of the de-
termination Of the commission. II any
determination Of the commission adverse
to the city we're not sustained by the evil
denoe II would be annulled by the court
The city authorities requested the in
sertiOn % a clause which would enable
the city TO take the evidence on which an
adverse decision might be made before
the Appellate Division for review on the
merits, as II no determination Of the COM
mission had been made, leaving other ag-
grieved parties 70 the ordinary review
by certicrari, This would reduce the
commission 20 a mere agent 70 take testi-
muny, without power 20 make an effective
The determinations OF the
commission would be subject to review
by certiorari in the absence Of an express
prohibition in the act against such review.
The insertion OF the omitted words, pro-
viding for review by certiorari, does not

albany, March SO.-The annual appro-
priation bill, which has already passed
the Assembly, was passed in the State
Senate to-day. This bill takes care Of the
annual fixed charges OF the State govern
ment and it carries appropriation agRre-
eating tls 800 900. Then come the sup
ply hill and the supplemental supply and
numerous individual special appropriations,
which will swell the appropriations this
year, it is believed in excess Of those made
by the last Legislature. which were S2O,-
700, 900.
When the appropriation bill came up
on final passage to-day Senators Human
and Marks wanted 20 discuss and amend
IL, but the roll call had been started before
they realized that the bill was before the
senate consequently all debate was shut
OF and all that these two Senators could
do was to explain their votes.
The bill contains an appropriation OF
SIT 600 for George W. Morgan, State SUI
porintendent Of the Metropolitan Elections
District This Is 100000 more than he
got last year.
Mr. Human declared that the appropria-
ton was not only unnecessarily large. but
was uncRlled Tor and was bad politics. He
registered his protest by voting against
the bill. Senator Marks voted against the
bill because, he said, it contained uncon-
stituuonRl appropriations to the extent of
SlSo 900, and because 1t appropnates lump
sums for the expenses Of State officers and
dOes not require any voucher.
Senator'S Fitzgerald, McCarren aud Mar.
tin also voted against the bill. Senator
Malby, the chairman OF the Senate Finance
Committee, declared that il was a most
unusual procedure for any senator. be he
Democrat or Republican, 10 vote against
the annual appropriation Just because hS
objected TO this or that item in the hill.
