LEVY LAW ATTACKED AGAIN
Taxpayers Suit May Stop Pay
of New Commissioners.

new attack was begun In the Supreme
Court yesterday on the Levy amendment
10 the election laws, which has taken the
name OF its author. Assemblyman Aaron j.
Levy. Of Tammany Hall, and the principal
provisions OF which were declared uncon-
stitutional by the unanimous decision OF
the Court of Appeals
The new move against what remains OF
the Levy law was made by the law hrm
of Gleason &c Carlton, whose senior men,
ber Is Lafayette u. Gleason, secretary OF
the Republican state Committee, acting for
Frederick Rohde, a large taxpayer OF Rich-
mond County They obtained from justice

troller Prendergast 10 show cause next

Before the Levy amendment was added
10 the election laws the Mayor hae the
apnointment Of the members OF the Board

Board of Aldermen. One OF the grounds
stated by Rohde, the petitioning taxpayer
was that the law was unconstitutional be-
cause. being a bill affecting New York city
and the commissioners peIHh wy '"
II should first have been submitted to the
Mayor Of this city for his approval or dis
APPROVAL, which was not done.
This legal formality having been
neglected. It was contended that Governor
Dix erred in placing his signature to the
measure without prior action on 1t by
Mayor Gaynor. 1t was further contendeo
that the law was invalid on the ground
that il OVERRIDE the constitutional pro-
vision for the appointment OF non-partisan
boards Of election. Besides this, 1t was
pointed out. the Levy amendment made no
provision for representation on the board
for Richmond County and Queens county
giving New York County two commission
ers and Kings County the same number on
tho board.
