The Governor, in the course of a long message, says the Legislature has failed to provide for revenue to take the place of the in- come which it is proposed to pay to | the municipalities for the firemen. Under the present law half of the proceeds of the $400,000 tax goes to the organizations, the balance being paid to the State fire insurance fund. The Governor says the creation of the fire insurance fund was an im- portant economic measure for State government, nd that the tax is a vital item in the creation of the fund, which it is expected will amount to $1,000,000 in a few years. would be the height of folly to compel the State to carry its insurance and at the same time remove from its treasury the fund dedicated to this service,” says the Governor. ‘bill is a direct attack upon the State insurance fund. Due fact was conveyed to the responsible representatives in the Assembly, they were urged, in case they wished to dedicate all this income, to make other fiscal provision to carry out the law's mandate in the matter of the insurance of its own property from the fund. Such provision was not made.” The House bill to method of distribution of legislators for this session's closing was approved by the Governor. The effect of the bill will be to make $200 immediately available and $100 at the end of the session.
