The foregoing items are disapproved because I believe that items of this nature should be presented in the thirty day bill period, that proper consideration may be given as to the necessity for the State entering upon the project, and at a time when the revenues of the State and the means of raising additional revenues have been fully determined.

AGRICULTURAL

DEPARTMENT OF FARMS AND MARKETS

DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE

"By chapter 168 of the Laws of 1918, for:

"National milk and dairy farm exposition (re.
$6,493.23)."

This item is disapproved because I am advised by the representative of the department that there exist no liabilities for this item.

To Amend the General Municipal Law so as to Make it a Misdemeanor to Disclose Names of Holders of Registered Bonds or to Permit of the Copying or Listing of Names of Such Bondholders, Except upon Court Order

STATE OF NEW YORK - EXECUTIVE CHAMBER

To the Senate:

Albany, April 15, 1920

I return herewith, without my approval, Senate bill, Int. No. 235, Printed No. 237, entitled:

"AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation to registry of municipal bonds."

NOT APPROVED.

This bill seeks to make it a misdemeanor for any clerk of any municipal corporation, or controller, or other officer in whose office the book or books in which bonds are registered and kept, or any deputy or employees in such office, to disclose the names of the holders of such bonds so registered, or any of them, or to authorize or permit any person or persons, other than the officials of the municipal corporation or the State Comptroller's office, to inspect, copy or make a list of such names or any part thereof, except upon an order of the court.

The effect of this bill would be to make criminal upon the taking effect of this bill an act which heretofore was entirely permissible and of very common occurrence, and it provides for its immediate taking effect.

I do not believe that such a statute should take effect immediately. It would be unfair to make a criminal of a person until he had at least a reasonable opportunity to become familiar with the statute.

This act is an amendment to the General Municipal Law of the State, and not an amendment or addition to the Penal Law of the State. If such a law is to be enacted, I believe that it should be put in the Penal Law, where the average person would look for such a statute, and not in the General Municipal Law, where few people would ever look for such a statute.

The bill is therefore disapproved.

(Signed)

ALFRED E. SMITH.
