OF these items the Governor says: In

The Governor failed TO approve bills TO
establish state schools of agriculture on
Long Island and at Cobleskill. Schoharie
County; state schools Of agriculture anu
domestic science and kindred subjects at
Delhi. Delaware County: Bainbridge. Che
mango County: NIiddletown, Orange Coun-
ty; a state school of sanitary science anu
public health at Cornell University; state
college of forestry at Syracuse University.
and an agricultural experiment station in
Niagara County. The reason for this &C
ton is given as follows:
the establishment of these schools. The
wise policy. it seems to me, is to provide
for the suitable development and compile
ton of the schools that we have before we
esta ablish new and separate foundations"

Sullivan County; widening and deepening
the channel in the outlet of Keuka Lake
from the lake TO the steamboat docks in the
village of Penn Yam, and deepening and
widening Tonawanda Creek in the towns Of
Batavia and Alexander. Genesee County.
The Governor says in explanation of his
action:
These bills provide for various local i'm
provements which it is desired should be
made at the expense OF the state; -,
1t does not appear, however, that there
is any special state obligation IN these
cases. And in any event we have not the
money at this time to expend in these I'M
proVementS-
Apart from this improvements of this
sort should be made pursuant TO gen

The bill TO amend the state charities law
in relation to the regulation of state charl-
table institutions is another one mot ap-
nP
commendable and were it not for the de-
mands upon our resources at this time
should be disposed to approve it, says Mr.
Hughes. Among other things, it provides
for the appointment by the fiscal super
visor of a purchasing agent, who is TO be
secretary of the purchasing committee;
supervisor of farms and a supervisor Of
foods
IF we could have a suitable co-ordiaa-
ton of the work of all our institutions,
such as hospitals for the insane, charitable
institutions and prisons, through repre-
sentative board, which should exercise
supervision over matters OF common in
terest and through which arrangement
could be made for common inspection and
supervision of farms, foods, supplies, etc.
it would result. I believe. in great benefit

Education Bill Not Approved.
Another bill which fails to go on the
statute books is one TO amend the educa-
ton law relative to establishing a law
library in the I'd Judicial District. OF this
Governor Hughes says:
1T may be very desirable that there
should be a library established in the I'd
Judicial District. and there is no disposi-
ton to criticise the intent of those who
are desirous to bring this about, but it is
clear that the disbursement of public
moneys should not be made mandatory
upon the requisition of trustees who are
not suitably accountable 70 public au
thority."
A measure TO provide for the rebuilding
of bridge across South Bay. in the coun-
ty of Washington, was not approved. This
bill authorized the State Highway Commits
sion TO rebuild the bridge and appropriated
for this purpose SIS, 900 out of the proceeds
Of moneys realized from the sale of high |
way improvement bonds.
IF it is TO be the policy of the state
says Mr.. Hughes, ito construct bridges at
state expense in connection with and out !
Of funds provided for highway improve |
ment. this policy should be defined by suit |
able amendment of the law so that it may |
be impartially applicable TO all cases of the |
same class. This bill If signed would prob |
ably have a numerous progeny of special |
acts involving inequality and injustice"
