"Thin Is not a p.titlsan or political question: It Is an economic question, and I cannot believe, although 1 have heard seme whlspeiliiK to me contrary. that any Nw York legislator will oppose this hill. I feel certain that other leRielators from other sections of the State will not want to put their party In the position of saying: to tho six million people of New York 'You may- want this but you shall not have I shall devote all my time and energy from now until the end of tho session to secure the passage of this legislation. "Besides providing for the procedure for the acquisition of public utilities the bill specifies two methods to finance the protect.

One is the method of issuing city bonds. That method can be used if thi liorrowlna- capacity of our city permits It, but the other method may be employed it our borrowing capacity should have so narrow a margin as to prevent a sufficiently large issue to make the purchase in question. "Then public service certificates miiy he issued bv the municipality, which, while they are not deemed a city obligation, have all the security of any other Investment. The certificates will be a first mortguce upon the paitlcular rropcrtles to be owned and operated." ENGAGEMENTS ANNOUNCED. Mr.

STATE BANKS AID IN TRADE EXPANSION Sujit. Skinner's Report Shows All Institutions Under Him Are Flourishing. Sprcial lo Till Si v. Ai.bant. Jan.

2. George I. Skinner, State Superintendent of Hanks, sent a cheery New Year's greeting to the Legislature to-day in the form of an' annual report of the doings of the masters of tho $6,500,000,000 over which his department has control. It was remarkable for the sound financial condition It era-phaalsed. The trust companies, banks and private bankers of the State, he said, had fully met tha demands made upon them both ii aiding the Federal Government ln ita financing plans and in the promotion of private trade and business.

During the year Just closed the State Institutions had done more to foster and encourage foreign antl domestic commerce than had ever lefore been known, he declared. Mr. said that it had not been necessary in 1917 to close a single bank or trust company, nnd that the losses to depositors during the last five years by bad banking had been Infinitesimal. After reviewing with som detail the history of the State banking system the report continued "During the yejr It became necessary to close one comparatively small savings and loan association with total reported resources of less than $400,000 on account of crimes committed by trusted officers of the association, who had been connected with It during the greater portion of its existence of neatly thirty years. This was the flm savings and losn association dosed by the department since 1912.

The liquidation of this institution has progressed rapidly that the department can pay to shareholders 33 per rent, of the amounts standing to tnetr credit upon the books of the asso ciation ns soon as tho necessary order irom tne nupreme court can bo obtained. "It was also found necessary to close two Institutions conducted by private bankers. Their failure was the result of Investments made before the banking law was appneame to them. Commenting on the cooperation given to the Federal reserve system by the State Institutions, Skinner said: Acting tinner emergency messaged from the Governor the Legislature 1917 in the last days of the session parsed amendments to the banking law which have the State Institu without becumliw members of the Federal reserve system, to cooperate with the Federal Ilecre Ilauk of New York to the fullest extent in mobilizing the gold of the country for the purpose of stcerwttienlng the financial stmewrc of the nation In Its time of need. Tile liatilotlc action of the ritato Institutions In taking advantage of the opportunities presented by the amendments which permit such Institutions, even when nut membci.t of the Federal reserve sstem, to deposit all their gold with the Fed-ei al rteserve Tiank of New York, Is ale-Kervlng of the higheht commendation.

State Institutions are also permitted by these nmemimcnts to carry as reserves on hand with the Federal Itesene Uank all the reserve which they are required to keep under the Stale law with the exception of such cash as they should line In their vaults for current needs. I "It has been believed by many that Hurh State Institutions as were eligible could still further strencthen the Federal reserve system by becoming members of the Federal Reserve Hank of New York, and twenty-tljreo banks and trust companies in Slew York city. Including some of the largest Institutions In the State system and eight Institutions locate-J outride of Greater New York, recently joined the Federal reserve system. Tu many -ascs this action was taken entirely ftom patriotic motives and, a they believe, nt a considerable pecuniary loss to themselves." WOMAN'S $3,000 GEMS STOLEN. Mrs.

Kirrrlir "There can be little Interest or enthusiasm In training a class of a dozen or less." said the "Few classes exceed twenty pupils. The farmer boy who Is obliged to walk miles to antl from his school and who does morning and evening chores at home hardly needs the additional exercise which physical training is Intended to give."
