Senator Mills said if the bill became
law It would mean the return of the

solely by men who want to make

Mr.. Mills refused TO yield the floor
when interrupted by Senator Burlin-

ator with having said he would like to
see the Tenement House Department
wiped out. Mr.. Burlingame later ad-
mitted the charge.
THE bill is contrary to the princi-
, pies of home rule" said Senator Mills.
at is more of this mandatory legisla-
ton creating jobs and salaries that
Albany has inflicted on New York City
in the past"
The Senator said Mayor Mitchell op-
posed the bill. and, besides some build
ors and tenement house owners, the
only backing IL had came from borough
presidents, who wanted the additional
power it gave them.
