"A Petition from the Mayor, Comptroller and

ALBANY, May q, 1874

o day, which the Assembly now mold, ana the early
hour at which the Senate meets 1t is pretty certain
that the final adjournment will take place this
week. The only thing OF any Importance which
is likely to prevent such happy contamination Is
the Supply bill. II the House should make up its
mind to fight the Senate over 1t, because
of the merciless way the latter disposed
Of all the pet items the adjournment
may be put back few days. Still the Conference
Committee appointed to-day have been well
chosen, and the general impression seems to be
that the usual bargain and sale practice that al
ways prevals--in fact, necessarily prevails-in con-
ference committees over supply bills will in the
long run win the day. There are many items
in the bill the Senate will give up II closely pressed
and the House will have to act accordingly; SO
little judicious Grading" as to what items ought
to be kept in to please all hands round will suffice

jOurnment will take place some time on Thursday

LOCAL IMPROVEMENT.
There was quite lively time the Local I'M
pr0vement bill in the House to-day and every pos
sible effort was made to defeat 1t by its opponents.
Mr.. Deering seemed to be the leader Of the adv0-
Gates Of the BILL and fought desperately against
the rulings OF the Speaker, who was evidently hos
tile to the measure. It finally reached it's order
of third reading safely, and passed by vote Of
% to 20. Mr.. Opdyke claimed that If the bill ever
became law the city would be robbed OF over
100000 which would have to be paid to patent
pavement people. The friends Of the bill contend
that this view OF the is a fallacy and one that
Is not borne out by any provision OF the bill. In
order that the taxpayers generally may know just
what the act is herewith append it in full, just as
It has passed.
