The propo.sal has pafwed two Legisla¬ tures nnd goes to the people this fall.
The commission form of govemment for Nas.sau County, since that is ap- >arently what the measure referred to in the foregoing really l.s, waa brought out several years ago by a joint commission of Na.s.sau and Westchester County folk. The results of the meetings of this commission were set forth In a rather large bound voliime.
Na.s.sau was represented by a com¬ mission of nine metubers, headed by Brqjn.son Winthrop, and .sei-ving with hiin were (Jeorge H. Emory, Charles N. Wy.scns* Willard D. Straight, Frank 1.. Crocker and William G. Miller. Fred¬ erick Davidson was counsel to thc com¬ mission.
Mr. Kmory .said la.st night that he did not think the bill that ha.s passed both branehe.s of thc Legi.slature was tho measure that was proposed as the out¬ come of the commi.s.slon's work.
Tho bill passed yesterday, which Sen¬ ator Holland S. Duell of Westchester fathered.

This is taken to mean that town tax collectors and much of the machinery will tae con.solidated in the county gov- ernnifut.
The bill al.so provides that thc changed form of government may be tried out and that if it is not desired, after trial, that the county may revert to the old form of government.
It further provides that tne Legisla¬ ture may modify any plan of govern¬ ment that Is accepted, and that if there Is not a l)oard of supervisors, the duties of that body .shall devolve upon the governing elective body in the county.
