In the main, satisfactory- and 'hat the opportunity for consideration of pending legislation '?>? the peo? ple directly affected and tlie publicity given to all sui'h proceeding! temi to prevent hasty legislation. and cannot, I think, fall to be of gnat benefit to local administration. In a Rtaie- like ours, with such a large and diver? sified population, with vast commercial Interests and presenting complex municipal problems, the quantity of b-glslatlon is necessarily considerable-, and while this quantity would be materially re? duced b*/ the adoption of general laws. t!v aggre? gate of legislation must still continue large. Com? munities grow and erevclop In different parts of the State under quite div. rsc conditions and present varying features of administration. It haa been found extremely difficult to re-conclle these differ? ences and produce a general scheme- of government that will tit all conditions; nnd. aside from munici? pal affair-, til,- commercial, business and social In? terests of the State constantly pr.-sent problems demanding legislative solution. These subjects have assumed great magnitude uno the legislation inci? dent thereto I* not only larg.-, but fii.pi.-ntly com? plicated :.nd very important LEGISLATION OK TvYO YF'ARS.

Muring these, two years the enlargement and Im? provement of our li ternal waterxvays has received special consideration, not only by the Legislature, but by the pe-ople themselves, who have- authorised the expenditure of i'>.,000.
