improvements in New York published in rus
SuS on Thursday was passed. lie believed
that Mr.. Hustled was deceived "a to its con'ents
when 1t passed the House. The seventh section
he said contained clause which amended tho
charter recently passed. and he did not bclievs
the House intended to do anything of that kind.
lie hoped the bill would bo called back and It's
Objectionable features stricken out at least.
Mr. Deering contended that the bill was nos
Objectionable, and that all this denunciation OF
1t was due TO the gross Ignorance cf those who
attacked IT, II contained nothing but what was
Just and proper, and he askel speaker Cornell
or any other member from the city of New YORK
to tell him who had the mower at preIen' to GER
tify to work done on locll improvements above
10th street, which under the charter Of ls11
that was repealed by tho charter that re-
Gently passed was under the control ~ the
Park Commissioners. but had now been pul IN
der the control Of the Department Of Publ9
Works.

Deeri9g desired To discuss the merits Of tNc hin,
To- which Mr. Deorlng replied that this W ~ not
an answer TO his question, and moreover ii
