ALBANY April 6. 1866
IMPROVEMENT OF HUDSON RIVER.
Among the bills which passed the House
yesterday was the sppropriating s50oOO to con-
tinue the improvement of the Hudson River. This bill
having previously passed the Senate only requires the
signature Of the Governor to become a law
NEW NORMAL SCHOOLS.

ORDERED TO A THIRD READING.
The folio ing impOr' ant Us we're ordered 10 third
reading in the Assembly yesterday For the rebuilding
OF the 0aeidl Lake Canal; the Canal Appropriation
bill; making appropriation OF certain uhexpehued
balances for appointment Of Resident Engineer on the
Chenango Cansl Extension.
THE SEw CAf'IToL.
The bill which passed the tonse few days since
simply makes Albany the capital Ct the state. IL ooes
not appropriate any money foi building new state
House nor confirm the Appropriation OF slOOOO oon'
tanned in the act Of 1915.
SEw-YoRK RAILROADS.
It is difficult TO determine the fate OF those roads
is TO be. My opinion, bogever ID that all the surface
roads will get through the Senate including Broadway
The underground road may pass-l am inclined 10 tnins
1t will The Elevated Railways are more doubtful
The opinion is that m elevated track cannot
te put up in Broadway without destrosng the beauty
of that great horoughfare and rendering almost value
less the stores which are on level with the
ground. AS 10 the Underground road
II individuals can be found willing to
no valid reason why II should not be built. The pro.
ject unopposed the Legislature ast Winter aud
has passed the Assembly this yeGr by an oil but unsn
NOUS vote The Governor favored the PRINCIPLES OF
last years BILL but considered Of the details OBJ
Isctionsbe. These have been carefully avoided IN the
bill which has passed the House; indeed, great pains
have been taken in it, preparation aud u Is as wei
Tuarded as its trainers have knOwn how to make II.
Once constructed the road will be In nobodys way and
Il vf do more to relieve Broadway and accommodate
Iptown people than either s Of tho other proposed
M at Il so np
be built without disturbing your croton and arrange
nents, 1t s the thing you need, aud the sooner yon
have II the better.
