COMPENSATION BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Democrats Push Through Gov,
Glynn's Measure Despite
Opposition.

ALBANY. Feb 3.--Gov. Glynn's work.
mems compensation bill, which the Demo-
cratic leaders desire to repass in the
Leg islature TO avoid any possibility OF
its being declared unconstitutional, was
passed in the Senate to-day despite the
opposition Of the Republican leader. Elon
H. Brown. The bill may have tough sled
ding In the Assembly. where the Republi-
cans control.
The conference Of Republicans tonight
named IA committee to determine II the
bill does not create too expensive ma
chine for putting the law into effect. II is
represented that the Assembly will pass
the bill in amended form so that three
commissioners instead OF five will be
provided for, along with fewer minor OFF,
Gals of the new department. "a
An amendment to the law by the As
sembly would create peculiar situation,
as the Democratic leaders OF the Senate
have announced their determination no,
to amend the bill. and Gov. Glynn ex-
poets to name the members OF the com
pensa,ion board as soon as the Assembly
acts on the measure. He said to-day tina,
he would name the commissioners whether
the Assembly repassed the bill or not. as
he regards the fears OF some legislators
regarding the constitutionality OF the la
AZ without foundation.
Necessity for the reenactment OF the
law If due to the fact that IL could not
have been passed legally in December be-
cause the workmens ccmpensat ton con-
stitutonai amendment did not take effec,
until January Of this year. Threats
to make a test of the law in the Court OF
Appeals have been made by those who
opposed the bill originally.

ADDITIONAL SSO,OO0,OOO
NEEDED FOR CANAL
Report 70 Frawlpy Committee
Shows New Bond Issue
Is Necessary.

ALpASY. Feb. s.--An additional $780,
600, 900 bond issue will be needed TO com
plete the barge canal system and pay all
damage awards. In addition To the $lOl.-
10000 originally provided for this work.
This became apparent to-day at a hear
ing before the Frawley investigating com
mttee, which was asked to investigate
limitations OF corruption and graft In the
construction of the barge canal.
Assemhlyman Human appeared before
the committee to-day and stated that
state Engineer Bensel had made "A re-
port to the Legislature answering all
questions regarding the progress OF the
barge canal work.
1T does not seem that after all the
great notoriety." said Senator Frawley
that our investigation will be very
lengthy. Mr., Human seems to be salts
fled with state Engineer Bensels report
For this reason the hearing is declared
closed unless Mr. Human should desire
to reopen IT."
Assemblyman Human analysed State
Engineer Bensel's report. declaring that
the people should know that AN additional
5000 900 was needed to complete the
Canal SysttIH oIibiIi.ihy out
and pay all the expenses incident to Its
construction.
1t appears from the Bensel report"
said Mr.. Human. that the barge canal
will cost $S6,0UO000 for construction
alone, without regard 10 engineering and
incidental expenses and claims for land
and water damages. Up to October l..
S56,500. 900 had been paid for construc-
ton work, As the construction work Is
to cost ss6,000,000 and $4,000 600 has
been expended to date for construction it
Is apparent that II will require $29.500.-
600 to finish the construction work on
the barge canal, exclusive of all other
expenses. 1t is also apparent that as
s7a.s00.00O OF the sl0l 100000 has al
ready been expended that only S2s,200. 900
is left for all purposes. II has cost the
State 100000 TO settle for one-half
of the area of lands appropriated for the
canal and like amount will be needed for
the balance. At least sl4.000.000 will
be needed to pay for damage to water
powers and 1000, 900 for engineering ex-
peuses. which means that there remains
"A. total expenditure of about $50. 600. 900
from funds now left, which amount to
S26.20O.00O which necessitates an addi-
tional bond issue OF $40. 900, 600"
