By Press Albany, April 24 04 --Senator Page and 'Assemblyman Dowting last night introduced a bill designed to meet the objections of Governor Higgins to the bill substituting a simple recording tax for the annual tax on real estate mortgages, which he vetoed last week. A definition of the term "mortgage of real property" is established, so as to make entirely clear that mortgages which cover both real and personal property will be subject to the tax; the tax is made payable on the recording of the mortgage instead of on its execution; the bill includes a repeal of the provision for the optional payment of the recording tax on the serial bonds which is in the present law. The provision that a mortgage made some years ago could be brought in now recorded upon payment of al tax, and thus secure exemption from other taxation, has been repealed to meet the governor's views.

There has been added an additional clause to make certain that no taxes for 1905 shall escape. GOVERNOR VETOES RACE FEE BILL (By Associated Press.)
