STATE REGULATION.
New York Public Utilities Commission
 Issues History.

New York, March 90-The Public Service commission of the First Dis trict. has published another appendix to its annual report entitled The His tory of State Regulation in New York The appendix is a history of the efforts of New York state to regu- late public utilities. By this report it appears that the state of New York began the regulation of railroad cor porations as early as lS42. about l2 years after the first railroad in the state had been opened, In 1855 the legislature created the first board of railroad commissioners, which had powers very similar to those now en- ioyed by the Public Service Commis- sion. This board was legislated out of office in 1857, and, from that time until the board was revived in 1883, ef- forts to regulate railroads by com missions lapsed.
 The report also shows the history of rapid transit commissions for this city. The first suggestion for the under ground railroad was made in 1866 by commission apointed by the legisla- ture.

FATE OF RACE TRACK BILLS.
Assembly Prefers Amended Act to No
 Action at All.

Albany, March 3O.-Speaker Wads- worth to-day indicated that the as- sembly might under certain circum-, stances pass the Anti-Race- Track bills if the senate insisted, so amended as to take effect on September 1. The speaker said:
 'If in the closing days of the ses- sion, the senate sends us our bills amended with respect to the date they take effect. the problem with the as- sembly will be whether there is to be no legislation or legislation taking ef- feet September 1.2 My judgment is that the assembly would decide in such contingency to pass the amended bill. This would perhaps avoid an extra session, the other way an extra ses- sion would be inevitable. But the as- semhly would not do this until the last. when the friends of the unamend- cd measure had every opportunity to change the position of the senate"
