The committee on labor has its work
all cut out for ii on "Wednesday ana
with tue matters assigned the hearing
* auitr likely To last until Well into
the evening. The Weavcrs particulars
bip the act providing for the weekly
payment of wages and the act cohsul-
dating the Office of faettvy inspector
with the labor department and giving
additional powers tn the labor cpmmiS-
sioncr are all assigned for that day
-Au three of these bills are recommends
I'd 10y the state EranCh of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor and the
bills for the weekly payment OF wages
and the NCaYerS particulars bill are
likely 10 meet with considerable OPP
position. Opposition will also probably
develop relative to tho salaries called
fer and the amount ot the general APP
pr,,priation in the bill providing for
the consolidation Of the office OF fac
terry inspector with the labor depart
ment and the giving of additional pow
crS to that department.
The Donigan bridge bill is sche duled
Cor 4 hearing Thursday before tn
committee on ways and bridges, This
Lin is likely TO meet with a more de-
tsrlhined opposition than ii has cYcr
faced before. Notwithstanding that tn
Legislature is of the sam" political
Faith as senator Donigan. Th" oppo-
i,,t,-. u t.,-
the senator from Somerset contend
that to carry out the provisions "t In"

claimed by the opponents of thu meas

have allowed their bridges to d"tcri"r-
ate and become unsafe Tor travel With
out making any attempt to have them
yepaiicd in tac hop" that the Donigan
act wculd pass and that tn" stat"
would take over all bridges in the state
over 40 feet in length. BY no means all
of the residents of the rural sections
are in favor of the general bridge bill
introduced by Senator DonlSan az"
Hon. Z. :. Stetson Of Greene. master
Of the state Grange. has already Said
that he believes that the bill asks the
state to take over too small bridges.
The resolve in favor of the city of Gar

thu use of automobiles and motor We
hicles In the town of Waterford are
ALSO assigned COR Thursday before the
committee on ways and bridges. The
same committee will give hearing

strIction of fences along public ways.
This measure was introduced by Rep
resentatiVe Stinson OF WoolWicli and
prohibits the building of any fence
along the public way other than one
of wire and posts without the written
consent of the municipal officers and
is likely to meet with a great Geal OF
of opposition from land owners. The

closing of Pond road in Readteld to
automobiles is assigned for Thursday.
