The hearing on the New-YOrk Local Improvement bill
was before the Assembly Committee Cities,
tins afternoon, when Dexter A. Hawkins undertook 10
reply to the argument made yesterday by john H.
strahan He Claimed tnat the Dll now before the Com
mittee respect like the bill approved by the
Controller,
sections that the latter section had been altered
as to entirely pervert the -dnng aud intent OF the
Controller. The five remaining sections were entirely
new aud calculated in MS opinion to do great injury 10
NewYOrk His argument IN support OF tins opinion was
unnelgble TO any one not thoroughly yersed III the
laws ordinances O the city, aud many Of his state
meuts were fatty cOntrGdicted Dy Mr. Stranan, who
several times interrupted ms speech.
The drift OF his remarks was that the bill would revive
contracts and ordinances OF the Tweed regime and
enable man, the Commissioner Oi PuDc Works, TO
make settlements ana renew such contracts as lie
might lit. He asked that the Committee would re-
fna u IN he
Senate with or two amendments tnat would enable
the Controller TO give equitable relief 10 claimants where
they were entitled to II.

the bill in It's present shape entirely just and proper
aud Indispensable the prosecution OF public works in
NeW-IOrk. As TO giving the Controller the power 10
award equitable relief he asked: Who ever heard OF
present Controller OF NewIork settling any claim
on tue oasis OF equitable reefl" The Controller was
nothing II not legal, and he wound interpose
500 technical objections 70 the payment OF a
Just claim before entertaining a single
pea founded equity. He trusted the Committee
would report the bill into their hands with
out amendment the Governor besieged to-day by
temperance and champions of lager beer, the one
urging him 10 sign and the other 10 veto the Local
Option bill Neither party succeeded in getting def
mite idea OF what the Governor would would MT do,
but the impression is very prevalent that he will refuse
10 sign the bill.
