ArTORNEY-GENERAL,s REpoRr.
More Gases Disposed or Than in Any Pre-
yiOus fear--RecOmmenuations.


ALBANY, March 4.-Attorney- General
Mayer says that his department disposed
Of more litigation last year than in any
previous year. The total number OF suits
end proceedings disposed Of last year was
1928. One OF the most important subjects
requiring attention during the coming year
10 the enforcement OF the so-called pure
food law,
When Attorney General Mayer assumed
Office there were lo2 proceedings pending
Tor the dissolution of corporations. Since
then 5o receiverHhirs have been finally
closed. 1t has been the POLICY Of the Attor-
ncy-General to compel the closing Of re-
ceiverships rs early as possible, and he has
had much success in that direction. He
finds hat the expense Of conducting re-
ceiverships has been entirely dlsproportion-
ate to the results obtained. and that in many
cases the fees Of attorneys have depleted
the funds in receivers hands. The Attorney
General recommends an amendment to tbs
law providing that receivers q ttorneys
have their fees fixed by contract at tn,
pu1set, 80 mat their employment would
bear some relation to the assetI collected.
Extra compensation can be granted where
unusual litigation arises, =
An amendment to the special franchise

that localities which get all the revenue
under this law shall share the expense in
CURED by the Attorney-Genera in defend
ing the operation of the law. 1t is a lso
recommended that a law be passed stating
definitely from what time interest on awards
IN canal claims shall run. Upon this point
tho Attorney-General says;
The number OF cases coming before the
Court OF Claims Is naturally increasing. Very
shortly the interest account on claims will
be a substantial item. Wherever propery is
appropriated for the purpose Of the barge
canal the interest of course will run from
the time OF appropriation until final deter
mination by the courts.
1t seems to me that 1t is desirable that both
the citizen and the State should have a forum
to which claims can be speedily presented.
On the one hand the citizen will thus have an
opportunity for a speedy hearing and on the
other hand the State will be able to diminish
the interest account and also avail itself of
the testimony of witnesses reasonably soon
after the claim accrues.
| therefore suggest for your consideration
the ACCESSIBILITY Of making this court a court
holding practically continuous sessions. and
that the members of the court should devote
their whole time and attention TO the court
and should be prohibited from practice, re-
ceivinE fair compensation for their services.
The difference in the expense Of the maintet
nance Of the court would be more than coun-
terbalGnced by the annual saving to the
state. for the reasons above referred 10.
