Senate. The amendment proposes that toe Mayor

members Of any Board to superintand the erection
Of any public building and all local Boards and
ohcers not elected by the people; every head OF

Senator lowery inquired If those heads OF de-
partMents retained IN this act may be removed by
the Mayor for cause.
Senator Woodln tnereuron changed the wording
TO read heads OF ''ali' departments. The amend
ment was thereupon carried, and verbal atera-
tons oil the l22a section relative to the general re-
moving power, were agreed to without debate.
Senator Tiemann moved to substitute
SENATE Bill. NUMBER TWELVE
lot Ine present measure, so that the motion
might be in order when the bill came out OF COM
mittee into the Senate.
Senator ID. p. Wood had several amendments to
introduce with a similar view, but as it was get
ting late, moved to rise and progress the bill.
The motion prevailed, and IN the Senate it was
made further special order tonight, to which
time the Senate thereupon took a recess.
Among the amendments proPos et the evening
CAR CONDUCTORS
among those to whom licenses should be given by
the Common Council He SAID that car conductors
are responsible for the safety and security OF the
property and sometimes, as IN the Putnam case,
lor even the lives Of passengers s,ro, Car
have some character before they could be
licensed Senator Murphy thought licenses
would not make conductors respectable. Unless
they are good men and are given better salaries
than they have at present they must be expected
h Of p' e now % and e
Licenses would do no good unless they were
given by board which shall have power to inquire
as to character. He thought the license system as
thus applied would only hamper the car companies.
Senator ID. p. Wood insisted that license would
at least hold the licensed conductor to some
sponsibility, and when such disgraceful scenes
cur as have occurred in New York street cars an
inquiry would be made and his license could be re-
voked. on the vote the motion was lost by II to
II, the New Workers voting In a body against it.
The question OF giving the Park commission
CONTROL or TIE BoULEvARDs
and streets above Fifty ninth street, except the
Observation-Disclosures, came up again on mouon OF
senator j. A. Wood aud called forth somewhat
bitter remonstrance from Woodn, who questioned
the motive OF Wood insisting Hpon giving authority
over these streets to the Park Commission, and sad
the Public Works Commissioner had already done
The work well. Senator 1Iemann Interrupted him
TO say that the streets were laid out the grades
made by the Park Commission; but such a state
ment made and as ID. +. Wood said, by a man who
lived there had his interests and property there,
and had been prominent public official there
han so little effect on the gentleman from Caynga
that he replied: II am simply advised otherwise"
sistcnt rural Solons, who insist upon legis
lating for the city. Mr.. Woodin continued to
push his opposition to the proposed amendment
Johnson took up the cudges for the city men at
this crisis and. In relation to some explanation of
Woedin's, declared that the charter did not read
Woodin ought to read the charter or that new
interpreter to explain its provisions. Finally Mr..
ID. +. Woods suggestion was lost.
AMENDMENTS CONCLUDED
subsequently he moved to strike out the Board
of Assistant Aldermen-not to discuss 1t now, but |
that he might make such motion when the bill |
came into the Senate. AS the amendment had
already been made he withdrew it. Senator
Murphy, for the same purpose, made motion to
except the head OF the Marine department from
the list Of those who are TO go out OF Office |
under the twenty-seventh section, and, further,
that the office office OF Comptroller be made cleo
tive hereafter. lie did not oler the amendments |
in any trling spirit, or with desire to hamper
the charter. lie thought, as the Comptroller held |
the treasury keys with responsibility great II !
not greater that the Mayor himself he ought to be
elected by the constituency the Mayor. |
Both motions were lost-the latter by vote of
New York delegation voting for the elective
principle, ana Weisman and Benedict against it,
Amendments were also made for u Spring election,
which was disagreed to, and Tor counting the re-
tanned heads OF departments among those who
may be removed by the Mayor for cause, which was
Senator Woodin then, promising that all the |
amendments were in, moved to report the bill to |
the Senate and recommend Its passage, which was |
agreed to amid

The bill allowing the

James to the Roosevelt street Jerry got a queer |
change OF lare in Committee OF he Whole this |

pany only charges five cents fare and the Fourth
avenue six cents The Harlem Railroad folks,

new dress. 1t is believed there Is "nigger' in the
fence somewhere in this change which may not be
visible until the bill gets into the Senate and is put
on It's final passage.
