Albany.-The | state appro‘prizfion pleted, but those who are preparing the state budget believe that the bill will show a substantial increase over last year.

This depends on the special appro- priation bills, many of which are still in committees and some of which have not yet been introduced.

DEIMTZ s*, announces that It will clean up long stending claims against the state. Among these is one for $150,000, ex pended by the Conservation Commis- sion in a war on the gypsy moth, Of the increase in the appropriation bill, about $2,000,000 is represented by increased salaries, largely statutory, but by no means entirely so. The state Industrial Commission {o due for about $1,000,000 more than it <re- celved under the Miller administra- tlony*The school teachers of the state will profit by an increased appropria- tlon approaching the $3,000,000 mark. Minor increases here and there make up the difference between the bills of last year and the one which must be reported to the legislature by March 15th. Some saving is effected. For in- stance, last year tunnel construction in the metropolitan district called for 000,000 will be required to complete the work Highway Commissioner Greene is asking for $8,000,000 for highway maintenance, as against $11, 000,000 provided a year ago. For road construction ample provision has been made,. 'With the state appropriation and Federal ald, Col. Greene will find himeeHf {n possession of nearly $18, 600,000, which can be expended in good road construction in connection with funds provided by the counties, This is sufficient to complete the state system of highways worked out a few years ago and embodjed in what is kmown as the Howitt map, showing a network of highways tapping every important section of the state. Just what bond fesues the people of the atate will decide by their vote this fall is in doubt. It is certain that the soldier bonus question will be on the ballots In November, and if this is car- rled It will be the duty of the 1924 legislature to provide for a bond Issue if somewhere between $4,000,000 and 445,000,000 for payment of bonuses. The original plan was to lay before «le people the proposition of expend: ing $16,000,000 for extension of the state's park system, but this probably will be changed. The recent fire in thé Manhatten State Hospital on Ward's Island serv- ed to call sharp attention to the need of mew construction In state Institu- tlons, and Governor Smith has recom- mended for this purpose a bond fesue of at least $50,000,000, with the sug- gestion that this might well be in- creased. Republican legislative lead- ers are not committed to this plan as yet. While recognizing that new con- struction is practically prepared to shelve park extension for it, they are not convinced that a $50, 000,000 bond Issue is necessary. As an alterna(ive, they suggest a smaller sum, perbape annual appropriations sufficient to carry forward the work least six years to expend $50,000,000, they say, and even then the problem would not be solved. New York's state Institutional popu- lation is growing at the rate of $1,000 yearly, and this necessitates a new building yearly for an indefinite portod. This and other financial problems re- main to &e worked out during the next few weeks. | Reports Stock Exchange Bill The ultimate disposition of housing legislation sponsored by the Lock: wood Committee hung in the balance, although the Senate Judiclary Com- mittee has reported out several bills included on the investigators' pro- gram. Meanwhile, the assembly is waiting to find out the fate of the measures in the upper®branch. The lower house leadera.are understood to be uncer- tain regarding the legislation, and they probably will not announce dish“ position unless the bills receive fay. orable action in the Senate. Seven of the housing bills on the Lockwood program were reported out by the Senate Judiciary Committeo as well ss various other pieces of pro- posed legislation. The bills reported without recommendation included the New York Stock Exchange incorpora- tion measure. Governor Smith Asks Laws Not content to await the consumme- tion of his plans for general recon struction of the state gmrfiment through the slower process of const tutfonal amendment, Governor Smith sent a special message to the legisla- ture recommending the abolition of several usaless buréaus or agencl and the comsolidation of others means of legislation which can be passed at the present session If the lawmakers take kindly to the gover- mors proposal About 100 such agencies which are now independently administered will ba scrapped or coordinated with some major department of the state government If the governor's recom- mendations are followed. In this pro- cess many useless oflces will be abok ished, resulting fn considerable sav. Ing to the state and a higher degree of efclazey in the edministration, according to persons at the capitol who are in a position to jodge. \IH you can cary ¢ut theso recom mendations we wil have takes the frat long stride toward by the constitcHomal «heciments which have sitresdy passed the somata, which I wil shortly re ceta the approval of the essently,\ the governor sa'd In bis megcage. \In the main, these statatery changes fot tow the principles of tho recemnenis. $5,500,000.

It would take at|~ resenstracton 0mm appointed in 1919, They 'have been | carefully studied and are based upon a wide field of experience,\ Bills to carry out Governor Smith's recommendations are now being pre- pared. It was said that there would be at least twenty bills, and might be as many as thirty. Introduction 'of these measures, It was said, would probably begin Monday and continue throughout the week, After the mes- sage had been read in the senate and the assembly it was ordered printed and referred to the Judfclary Commit, tge in both houses, Proposes Laws Now to Save Time The governor points ont in his mes- sage that the changes he recommends in his message are mot to be regarded s Aubstitutes for the constitutional amendments upon which there has al- ready been action taken by the legis- lature. .But those measures would require the sanction of a legislature with a different senate and could-not bé submitted to the voters for ratifl- cation before the general election in 1925, and could not be made operative through the enactment of legislation before the legislature meetg In 1926. - He urges in the message that the statutory changes he recommends may readily be adjusted to the broad- er stheme of constitutional reorganiz ation which has in view the grouping of all the activities now performed by 187 departments, bureaus and com- missions under nineteen main divi- sions, the permanency of which would be guaranteed by provision in the or- ganic law of the state, The Motion Picture Censorship Com- mission, bills for the abolition of which are already pending, and the Board of Port Wardens, the scrapping of which as useless has been urged by many governors, head the list of a dozen or more boards or bureaus which under tire govornor's recom- mendations would be legislated out of existence. Creation of a new department of public works, to take over all the pub- le works and engineering functions of the state-from more than a dozen agencies that aro now performing them; a co-ordination of the welfare and institutional activifies of tho state, involving the abolftiqn. of the Parole Board and the Probation Com- mission and the transfer of their func- tions to the Prison Commistion, and the bringing together under the con- trol of the Conservation Department of two score or more of commissions and agencies that now supervise small parks and places of scenic, scientific or historic interest which the state has taken over are other salient polfits made by the governor, Next Congress Gets Beer Plea Governor Smith will not present New York State's petition for light wines and beer to the \lame ducks\ in the Congress about to expire. \I shall sign the resolution,\ the governor announces, 'but I want it to reach the men who were elected in 1922. I am pot going to send the resolution to the lame ducks who are about to get the gate, The state's pe- tition would be lost in twenty minutes in the confusion of the closing hours of Congress, and It would be a useless gasnire to send such a document there at this time. Besides, the lame ducks could do nothing if they wished to act. The day the new Congress meets It will recelve this memorial showing New York state's position on the liquor question.\ Leaders in Washington, who will welcome we'resolution and appland New York's stand, favor withholding the petition until the new Congress. Will Force Act on Repeal Agreement has been reached In the assembly wheroby the \wets\ are to have an opportunity to force a voto on the repeal of the Mullan-Gage law one week from next Monday. Assembly man Louis Cuyviliier, Democrat, of New York, saw Speaker Machold, As- semblyman Simon L. Adler, majority leader, and Charles D. Donohue, minority leader, and something like a program was worked out of a confused altuation. Bpeaker Machold suggested that Cu- villier take the fight to the Excise Committee of the assembly, which has his bill repealing the Mullan-Gage law. That committee agreed to give a hear- ing. Another bill of similar purpose is before the Judiciary Committeo, which Also 1s expected to act next week. Bible Thoughts for the Week Sunday.

The othdr day he received the check, together with the statement that seventeen dozen of the-~eggs were pullet egge and therefore under wize, seven dozen cracked, five dozen were ''leakers\' and one dozen rotten. Mr. ~Marold thinks perhaps the weather caused the seventeen dozen to shrink to pullet size, as he has very few pullets and grades his eggs care- fully. He can understand that rough handling in shipment may atcount for cracked eggs and ''leakers'' but he is unable to account for the rotten eggs, ma there has ‘not been any weather recently that would cause eggs to go bad It is possible that his case of fresh eggs was stolea and a case of storage eggs substituted for them.
