for abandoned canal lands after the
barge canal In In operation 10 to be
turned In TO the state treasury for gen.
ersl use, according to a plan favored
by the Constitutional Convention Com
mittee on Canals.
The Constitution provides that moneys
received from the sale Of such n
shall be utilized In paying for canal i'm
provements and repairs. This provision
liz TO be eliminated from the Constitu-
ton. The Canals Committee also will
report in ia of abolishing the state
Commissioners OF the Canal Fund, as
their work really is performed in the
state Comptroller's office
A DEFINITE plan to get revenue for the
State from the use Of the barge canal
water will be reported by the committee.
state Engineer Williams has reported to
the committee that he estimates the
amount OF hydraulic power development
arising out Of the barge mi construc-
ton as $4,000 horsepower and that BY
the installation Of a steam plant In con-
junction with the water power this
amount may be increased to $4,000
horsepower.
Revocation of rants
The Canals Committee IL also consid-
ering a provision that will permit the
revocation of valuable water power
grants that have been received from
the state board by mill owners on the
state canals. The state IL not receiving
any compensation for these rights and
the committee believes that the contract
should be revoked so that the state may
receive an adequate return.
The Judiciary Committee has decided
to report favorably an smendmen, max.
ing the General Sessions Judges Of New
York city constitutional officers so that
they may not hereafter be abolished 10y

The committee decided to retain the
present impeachment provisions OF the
Constitution.
Gov. Whitman and a Subcommittee of

headed by Henry /" Stimson. conferred
to-day on the work OF that mnit
In providing for a state budget.
II told the committee said Gov
Whitman, that | favored the Governor
being responsible for the budget and
that he should have an expert account
ant to aid him in the work. This budget
should be prepared before the Legisla'
ture meets and the Governor could ther
summon the managers OF state institu'
lions and State officials before him and
learn FIRST hand what their fnancia
needs are.
Il think the Constitutional Convention
would favor such IA plan. The people
hold the Governor responsible for thu
budget and ne should be In a position
TO submit a budget to the Legislature
every January. and the Legislature
should be prohibited from increasing an!
amount recommended by the Governor
for "A specific purpose. but should b.
permitted to decrease proposed appro

CHEERFUL CREDIT CAN BE

The Caesar Miseh Stores are mak- ing a. great specially of their Cheer fuI Credit. This is an honorable form of credit, so they say, that thousands are using and other thousands would use if they realized it's convenience and the many advantages which it gives to it's users. Without any fuss and feathers any responsible person may open a Cheerful Credit charge account with the Caesar Misch stores.
 No money whatever is required at the time the purchases are made and whatever is bought may be paid for in small weekly amounts.
 The new fall goods for men, women, boys and children are com ing in daily and offer a most inter- esting exhibit of 1915 fall styles. The styles this year particularly in women's apparel are particularly pleasing and must be seen to be ap- preciated.
