CanalbOat O1cners.

bill with alleged joker in II was tagged
on its journey by Mayor Mcclellan yesterday when
II came UP for a hearing w II. Hilton. represent
ing manufacturing interests In Newburg. opposed
the measure. and briefly explained its provisions
When he had finished the Mayor said that il
seemed clear that the bill preposterous. Mr.
Hilton said that the bill to take away the use
OF the piers from Z. on the East River
TO a point between and :. except for freight
from north OF Castleton." This was the phrase
In the bill that struck the Mayor as peculiar and
he asked number OF questions about II. MI
Hilton said the bill drawn IN the interests of
the canalboat owners from up the state and by
Assemblyman Farrell. TO cut OF every manufact-
urer OF brick. cement and other products on the
Hudson River and also shut out the sand and
rock dealers and shippers. while other interests
would also suffer. He said coo 600 bricks are
landed In New York annually. and that much OF
this shipping would be shut by restricting
the piers mentioned in the bill. while besides a great
deal or tho shipping OF sand cement. rocks lime
and other freight from Hudson River points be-
low Castleton would be shut of. Castleton is a
place little below Troy on the Hudson He
said the bill would increase the cost OF brick in
this city 81 q thousand.
This bill certainly seems to violate the inter
state commerce law" said the Mayor. land the
constitution OF the United States is in re-
straint OF trade and would shut out the Hudson
River trade as well and the New Jersey shipping
interests on the Hudson. the face OF it

votes for Mcclellan the face of the returns. the
recount stop then and there, putting upon the
Mayor the burden Of forcing a recount in all the
other election districts. The friends OF the Mayor
object the retroactive features of the Dill, and
they assert that through the initiative OF the
Hearst people themselves. the ballot boxes were
removed from safe custody. and many of the boxes
were broken open and their contents scattered.
The Mayor said OF his friends last night,
never for minute has objected to fair and
square recount OF the ballots because he believes
that his margin would not be cut down materially
He IS convinced that the Hearst will take ad-
vantage OF every opportunity to best him. and ne

day of Assemblyman DOwlings bill TO except a
certain building from the provisions of the tene-
ment house law indicated hard fate for several
bills amending the original tenement house laws
TO their hurt. If those measures get the
Governor In his veto he said:
This bill. despite its more general form. is In
tended TO except a particular building from the
operation of the tenement house act The case
is one OF peculiar hardship to the present owners
OF the building There seems to be question.
however, that those who directly concerned
with It's construction proceeded with full knowl-
cage OF the provisions of the tenement house act
ana delberately planned to disregard them. There
is no justification for this measure unless II is
proposed TO establish the principle that the tene-
Inent house act will not be enforced against limo
