Albany April l7.-Governor Glynn to-
dav IN vetolng the bill Of Assemoiyma'
e,,,o-s 70 give the Palisades Park Com
.,,.s,o, more powers in reference TO the
,,vostrnent Of it's funds practically served
MOTTO. on the commission TO go ahead ana
s,ord tho money for the purposes Tor
,,.,,ch Il was appropriated. The COM
-,-.,o, nov, has under It's control about
a. 90 600. tho proceeds OF bond issue ap-
-, nv the people in 1910 and OF gifts
,-or, Tho Hartman and other estates'
The suvers bill would permit the com
missions to invest and reinyest these
funds.
The Governor. in his memorandum de-
c,ares that the money was given for the
doveIoping OF state park, and that well
established usages demand that the
money be not invested but expended for
that purpose. The memorandum also
states that the suvers bill would de-
prive the state Comptroller OF his super
vision of the moneys In its hands, which
IS against the law giving the Comptroller
supervision over all state moneys.
The Governor also vetoed the Gdllett
bin which would extend the secured debt
law 10 bonds secured by mortgages COW
ering property partly within and partly
without the state. II was the belief of
the Governor that several large corpora
tons were prepared 10 take advantage Of
this extension at once.
Against States Policy.
AS the bin is framed" said tho Gov
ernor, the tax would be paid partly
to the state and partly 10 the locality
affected. so that the state would lose
a substantial portion OF tho tax. and l
cannot approve of such departure from
the settled policy OF the state. There
are a number OF corporations willing 10
comply with a new law. such as this, as
soon as IL should be enacted. and II l
should approve this bill the state would
promptly lose a sum which might amount
to over million dollars"
Governor Glynn signed the J. @. Jones
bill appropriating $1,000 for q game farm
on Long Island.
He vetoed the bill which would give
ex-senator Stllwell. several convicted
bank presidents and numerous other
prisoners their freedom on parole. 1t
provided that first term prisoners con-
victed for certain felonies might be pa
rolled after serving one year. and that
convicts serving terms for first degree
arson, first degree burglary. first degree
robbery. manslaughter or kidnapping
might be paroled after two years.
The bill was vigorously opposed by
the district attorneys OF the state, who
daclared that If made into law IT would
virtually prevent the proper enforce
ment of the criminal law. Without re-
ferring TO the particular provisions Of
/ the bill, Governor Glynn pointed out in
his veto memorandum that the entire
question of parole, Communication and
pardon should more properly be consid-
| cred in the constitutional convention
which is to be held next year.
The Poor Mans Court.
The Governor also vetoed the bill
which provided for added costs in the
Justices Court
"The Justices Court is tho poor mans
court" he said, land l see no reason for
any costs in addition to those provided
for in the existing law"
Employees OF factories who do not
work more than eight hours day here

rest in seven. A bill changing the labor
law in this respect was signed to-day by
