Bill for Aircraft Insurance. Other measures before the Governor would permit fire, marine and casualty insurance companies to take risks on airplanes, fiying boats and dirigible balloons and their operators: would allow depositors of the failed Union and Borough Banks of Brooklyn to go before the State Court of Claims in an effort to collect for their losses and would provide for an investigation of the State right to develop water power at Niagara and Long Sault Rapids, St. Lawrence, and to figure on the cost of this development. Included in the list are the Lockwood conductorette bill and the Sammis measure regulating service of women elevator operators. Both prohibit the employment of women for more than nine hours a day, or after 10 o'clock at night and before 6 o'clock in the morning. The Lockwood bill provides that no woman under 21 shall be employed in the operation of surface, elevated or underground railways, and the Sammis bill prohibits the employment of females under 18 to run elevators. Three bills carrying out the recommendations of the Governor, and which he undoubtedly will sign, are: Providing for reorganization of the New York city five man Public Service Commission under a single commissioner. creating a rapid transit commissioner to build the rest of the city's subways, and providing that the Industrial Commission must conduct a review of every workman's compensation case in which direct settlements are made. Awalting signature also is the bill of Senator Clayton R. Lusk of Cortland which permits cities and villages to create industrial aid commissions. to remedy unemployment conditions, and to furnish food, shelter and clothing to persons unemployed until they find jobs and begin receiving wages.
