THEODORE ROOSEVELT STATE OF NEW YORK Executive Chamber Albany, May 5, 1900 Memorandum filed with Assembly bill No. 558, introduced by Mr. Ellis, entitled “An Act to amend the public health law and the acts amendatory thereof, relative to the practice of veterinary medicine" - Not approved This bill is disapproved by the educational authorities of the State and is a distinction against our State veterinary institutions. THEODORE ROOSEVELT STATE OF NEW YORK Executive Chamber Albany, May 5, 1900 Memorandum filed with Assembly bill No. 2099, introduced by Mr. Darrison, entitled “An Act to amend the code of criminal procedure, in relation to the prosecution of an undertaking given by an Indian" - - Not approved This bill as drawn is entirely improper inasmuch as a whole line has been left out of the printed bill. THEODORE ROOSEVELT STATE OF NEW YORK Executive Chamber Albany, May 5, 1900 Memorandum filed with Senate bill No. 1329, introduced by Senator Munzinger, entitled "An Act authorizing the board of estimate and apportionment of the city of New York to audit and allow, and also authorizing the comptroller of the city of New York to pay to Joseph H. Garvey compensation for services actually rendered to the city of New York in the department of public charities in the year eighteen hundred and ninety-one pending the preparation of municipal civil service lists for the position of superintendent of Bellevue Hospital Dispensary” -Not approved This bill provides for the payment of the claim for salary of JOSEPH H. GARVEY who was appointed during the year 1899 in the Department of Charities to the so-called position of Superintendent of Bellevue Hospital Dispensary. GARVEY was appointed to the position in question without certification by the civil service commission, while various appropriate lists existed from which an appointment might have been made. Payment for his services was refused by both the Commission and the Comptroller on that ground, after the various temporary appointments existing at the time the new rules were framed were vacated. THEODORE ROOSEVELT STATE OF NEW YORK Executive Chamber Albany, May 5, 1900 Memorandum filed with Assembly bill No. 1971, introduced by Mr. Guider, entitled "An Act to confer jurisdiction upon the court of claims to hear, audit and determine the alleged claim of heirs, executors and administrators of Margaret C. Considine deceased" - Not approved This is an act to allow the court of claims to pass upon the claim of MARGARET CONSIDINE for damages alleged to have been sustained by reason of the cancellation of her license for a saloon. The cancellation of these certificates is made by the court and large numbers of these cancellations are continually being made. To allow an appeal to each one of the persons who feel aggrieved by such cancellation would be practically opening the door to hundreds of claims whose cases have already been passed upon by the court. THEODORE ROOSEVELT STATE OF NEW YORK Executive Chamber Albany, May 5, 1900 Memorandum filed with Senate bill No. 1118, introduced by Senator Graney, entitled “An Act to prevent disturbance of religious camp meetings" - Not approved This bill is to prevent the disturbance of religious camo meetings. Its purpose is excellent; but it is so broadly drawn that it would interfere with legitimate business if it became a law; as drawn it is apparently unconstitutional; and in any event it would take effect only after the camp meeting season is practically over, so that the matter can best be left to be taken up next year with greater care. THEODORE ROOSEVELT STATE OF NEW YORK Executive Chamber Albany, May 5, 1900 Memorandum filed with Senate bill No. 787, introduced by Senator Norton, entitled "An Act to amend chapter five hundred and forty-seven of the laws of eighteen hundred and ninety-six, entitled 'An Act relating to real property, constituting chapter forty-six of the general laws', relative to authentication by county clerks"-Not approved A bill of similar character has already become a law during the present year. THEODORE ROOSEVELT STATE OF New York Executive Chamber Albany, May 5, 1900 Memorandum filed with Senate bill No. 763, introduced by Senator Ford, entitled “An Act to amend the tax law in relation to the taxation of public franchises as real property"- Not approved This bill is not now favored by the introducer, and the State Board of Assessors has not yet decided that it would be a wise measure. THEODORE ROOSEVELT STATE OF NEW YORK Executive Chamber Albany, May 5, 1900 Memorandum filed with Senate bill No. 1315, introduced by Senator Ford, entitled "An Act to confer jurisdiction upon the court of claims to hear, audit and determine the alleged claim of Martin F. Monahan, and fourteen others against the State" - Not approved This bill is not approved by the Attorney General. THEODORE ROOSEVELT |
