witness the solemn opening cere-
monies. Seating accommodations in
the Senate galleries, open to the pub
lie, were approximately 400.
Acting Lieutenant Governor Rob
ert F. Wagner called the Senate to
order and member OF the court OF
impeachment at 1855 At the
same time counsel for both sides
took their seats at opposite tables in
the space between the bars and the
senator's chairs.
Behind the platform where Chic

tapestry of maroon and gold. In its

of the state of New York and it
moto, Excelsior" AT each upper

United States.
On the raised front of the judges

Mechanic Street to Be Com
pleted and Lee Street
is Abandoned.

Because three or four property
owners on Lee street threatened to
sue the city on the ground that the
new grade for street paving would
damage their properties. the city
councilmen having the paving in
charge have decided to abandon the
improvement of that street for the
present and complete the paving OF
Mechanic street instead. According
to this plan Lee street will not be
touched for another year.
1t was intended to pave Lee street
from Third to the stretch of paving
at the western end which connects
with Chestnut street. A concrete
curbIng was laid along both sides
and sewer pipes were laid when prop
erty owners who would have to build
sidewalks and retaining walls en-.
tered protests with threats OF suits
Mechanic street is already paved
from Third to Fifth streets and from
Chestnut to st. Mary's hospital anc
the remaining stretch will now bt
paved. The contract for the worI
has been awarded to W. B. Virgit
and he will begin work next Monday
morning.
The torn up condition of botl
street and sidewalk in Lee stree
makes that thoroughiare very mud
dy, inconvient and in many places
dangerous for pedestrians.

beers OF the American Institute OF
Banking in annual session here to-
day heard Senator Burton, OF Ohio.
attack the Democratic currency bin.
The senator condemned the regional
reserve bank plan, proposed In the
bill, but his criticism was aimed
chiefly at the provision authorizing
the federal reserve board to control
the issuance OF the currency.
Discussing the plan to put the re-
serve bank system under control Of
a federal reserve board named by the
president, Senator Burton said:
Such an organization might at
first seem an ideal solution securing
proper balance between the people
and the banks in the all important
field Of the management Of our
finances, but it Is the bane OF our
national life that politics enters all
administrative duties. The compe-
tition between opposing parties Is
so keen that those engaged in enter
prises do not feel sure that the an
thority OF political board will not
be used for partisan advantage"
