Book Description
Excerpt from State of New York, Messages From the Governors, Vol. 6: Comprising Executive Communications to the Legislature and Other Papers Relating to Legislation From the Organization of the First Colonial Assembly in 1683 to and Including the Year 1906; 1869-1876 This period witnessed the adoption in 1869 of the new judiciary article proposed by the Constitutional Convem tion of 1867, which was the only part of the work of that Convention approved by the people. The failure of the work of the convention resulted in the Constitutional Com mission of 1872, which proposed numerous separate amend ments to the Constitution, most of which were submitted to the people and approved in 1874. During the years covered by this volume much atten tion was given by governors and others to the subject of municipal reform. New York city received a new charter, and in 1875 the Legislature created a commission to investi gate the subject of municipal administration. There was also at this time an investigation of canal affairs, which resulted in important changes in administration, notably the amendment of 1876 creating the office of superintend ent of public works. Prison administration was also re organized by the creation of the office of superintendent of State prisons, and the abolition of the office of inspector.
