Bishop William Croswell Doane told inter church officials in Albany that the Congress on Uniform Divorce Laws did not advocate six causes but cited existing laws. He said the Congress seeks to keep state laws as they are where causes are restricted, notably in the District of Columbia and New York, preserving a single adultery cause.

Opposition to Highway Bill Raises Constitutional and Equity Questions
State Engineer Skene has sent a list of forty objections to the highway bill to the Internal Affairs Committees. He argues the measure overreaches administratively, harms farming regions, and fails to equitably distribute trunk line mileage among counties. He cites Oneida and Albany counties as examples and warns that a new County Superintendent would shift costs to counties and empower local officials.
