STATUTE BILL CAST ASIDE
Assembly Kills Wagner Measure
for Consolidation.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune !

IBy Telegraph to The Tribunsl
Albany, March 2.-The Assembly to-day
killed by recommitting the bill OF Senator
Wagner authorizing the Statutory ConsoIi-
dalton Commission TO prepare consolda-
ton OF all the statutes relating TO the terri
tory within the city of New York including
the New York charter, consolidation ACT
and hundreds OF special acts The bill was
drawn by former Assemblyman w. a.
Shortt for the Citizens Union for the pur-
pose OF simplifying and syStematizing Tho
confused mass OF laws now affecting New
York City. The measure would have the
effect of taking away lucrative source OF
revenue from the New York charter revi-
sion trust, which Is headed by Ray b..
Smith, former clerk Of the Assembly.
Because OF the confused condition of the
New York City laws for several years past,
the Legislature has been appropriating
large sums OF money to bring about a
charter revision, and IL the Wagner bill
were passed there would be no further
need Of such expenditures. Last year no,
600 was spent in this work.
II was learned to-day that Robert
Cummings, OF the bill drafting department,
and one Of the members Of the charter re-
vision trust, had asked many members OF
the Assembly to oppose the bill on the
ground that It was nothing more than
charter revision. Consequently, the sup
porters Of the measure were not surprised
when Assemblyman Cuvilier to-day moved
TO recommit It.
Assemblyman Dana said that he wantel
- dobata tho hill INT Sneaker Merritt
ruled that a motion TO recomnt "ds NV
acbatablc, and Immediately put the mo-
ton TO a vote. He declared the motion car
ried before anybody had time to ask lot
slow rollcal.

When Hyde learned that Justice Davis
