the holder. and the two Phillips bills author
izing the State Tax Commission to equalize
special franchise tax assessments and
requiring the corporations topay the taxes

In vetoinR the four bills extending the
time for the construction of four specified
railroads Gov. Hughes says: y SUFFICIENT
reason appears why statutes requiring the
commencement and completion OF con-
etruction within fixed periods should be
waived in these cases
In vetoing the six bills cancelling State
tax sales the Governor says:
II the present restrictions OF the general
Ia operate unfairly they should be chan ged
50 as to provide a scheme by which those
who suffer injury from illegal tax sales may
have a proper remedy. But the relief should
be extended to all within the classes OF cases
demanding il. as they may be defined by
general legislation.
In vetoing Senator Foelker's bill, desired
nv Edward VI. Grout. esta blishing in Brook
lyn a college similar to the Colege OF the
City Of New York in Manhattan. Gov.
Hughes says
II has been made apparent to me that
there is a sharp division of opinion a. TO he ad-
Visibility of this bill. The project has direct
relation to the educational system OF the city
Of New York. The extent to which the city
should develop opportunities for higher
education in It's different boroughs is a sub
ject which may well engage the attention Of
the Charter Revision Commission. 4 con-
sistent plan should be adopted, and in my
Judgment there should be no legislation
upon the subject until the Legislature has
had the benefit of the commissions report.
made after full consideration.
In vetoing bills authorizing the Com
niissioners OF the Sinking Fun of the city
of New York to cancel taxes or assessments
or to refund moneys paid thereon in the
case Of certain religious and charitable
institutions the Governor says
There are a number of bills OF this sort
each wear. The matter il one for which
provision should be made by a suitable amend
ment to the Greater New York Charter. so
that In proper cases liens may he cancelled
and moneys refunded. Az u charter revision
commission has been appointed. IL seems TO
me that further action upon special bills OF
this sort may well he post poned until they
have considered the subject.
The Governors reason for vetoing many
of the New York city Charter amendments
was that the changes in the charter should
he left to the recently appointed Charter
commission.
In vetoing the Great South Isy oyster
planting bill Gov. Hughes says:
This hin in effect places upon the courtthe
burdens Of administration II is in the line
Of a policy too frequently reflected IN our
statutes which fails to take account Of the
distinction bet judicial and administra-
tive functions II provides for Il court re-
view Of administrative matters and In effect
substitutes the judgment OF the court upon
,dministrative questions for that of the
commissioners do moi believe that this is
Inc proper way to correct administrative
abuses. and IA the principle is so important
am constrained to disa pprove this bill.
In vetoing the Merritt pure food bill
Gov. Hughes says:
In my first MESA Cr TO The Legislature |
recommended the legislation with reference
" protecting the public against the sale Of

harmony between the work OF Ia Federal and
state authorities. The bill follows generally

Ieriously defective that cannot approve II.
