The alleged tampering with the Supply bill
Of the last NewYork Legislature has started ami.
mated discussion on the subject throu ghou the State

disputed clause fixing the salary Of the superintendent
Of the Capitol at $4,000 was put IN before the bill
was reported from the conference committee ana was
