form lines. Several good bills were passed arui all the bad bills were de¬ feated except one. Among the bad bills which the Reform Rureau stren¬ uously of)posed were the following : - The Conklin-Alt Bill
The' Conklin-Alt bill, to allow sa¬ loons within 2ii0 feet of a private school, if the managers of such a school consent. This bill was especially in the interest of a theatre on Central Park West, New York City, which wants a liquor license, but being with¬ in 200 feet of a private school, can¬ not   get  one   under   the   present   law.
This was a dangerous hill, especially because it would have set a had prece¬ dent in favor of allowing saloons with¬ in 200 feet of a public school. This bill was twice defeated in the Assem¬ bly, but being again presented to the Assembly by the Rules Committee in the closing hour of the session on the last day of the Legislature, and under tremendous j.'ressure of the political bosses, it was forced through the As¬ sembly, having been forced through the Senate the day before, but Gover¬ nor Hughes vetoed the bill. Hotel Gotham Bill.
.\nother bill which we   opposed   was
of most of tne States and make them more uniform. Among these amend¬ ments was one that persons should not be allowed to go from one State to another and get a divorce for a cause not allowed in the Stale from which they went, but if they should, their divorce would not be recognized by the courts of the State from which thoy went. Another was that persons must live two years in a State before they could get a divorce.
These amendments were kiccjrpor- ated in the Weimert bill, wh'Ici) was drafted by (;harles Thaddeus Terry, the odicial representative of New- York, a|ip<dntefi by the Governor to the above mentioned National Divorce Congress, which was particijiated in by all the States of the Union, except jv South Carolina, which has ho divorce law. The bill covers the two vital features advocated by the Divorce Congress, namely: -First, to prevent migratory divorces, which are and for a long time have been frauds upon the laws   of many States,   and   second

Tho Board of Health will probably shortly advertise revised rules and reg¬ ulations, there having 'oeen .-x'veral changes made in the Health Law this year, which the State Board has order¬ ed to be hxed in the laws of the local boards throughout the state. The State Board has also prepared a leaflet on "The Filthy Fly," and will send as many as the authorities ask for. It c-would be a good plan to get some of these and have them distributed throughout the village, or iiicorporated in the Health Laws, as has been done already in some towns.
