STATE OF NEW YORK

Executive Chamber

Albany, May 5, 1900

Memorandum filed with Assembly bill No. 1922, introduced by Mr. Phipps, entitled

“An Act to amend the election law, and authorizing the town clerk to

administer oaths to primary election officers”—Not approved

This bill is to authorize two clerks to administer oaths at primaries. This bill is

unnecessary. There are always present notaries public or justices of the peace and

there seems no necessity to have town clerks do the work of a notary public in this

particular instance.
