OPPOSITION LED BY SPEAKER MGUIRE-AMEND-
MENrs PROPOSED BY Mr.. HUsTED-sPEEcHEs
BY MEssRs. wAEHNER AND ALvORD AGAINST
THE BuL-oRDERED TO A THIRD READING
WITHOUT SERIOUS OPPOSITION
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUNR.l
ALBANY, May 1.-THE Governors Rapid Transit
bill occupied the attention of the House for about
three hours tonight, and it was not until nearly
midnight that a vote was reached on the motion to
order 10 a third reading. The opposition
which was expected cropped out very early
in the progress of the debate, and
came, perhaps naturally enough, from Speaker
Mcclure, whose pet measure the Governor had just
returned TO the Assembly with veto message, and
he was ably seconded by MeSsrs Waehner and
Alvord. Mr.. Thomas c. Campbell, member of the
Committee on General Laws. and a partisan of
the bill reported by that Committee, was also not IN
favor of the bill in its sent form. The opposition
TO the bill in the speeches came from all sides. When
the voting came the opposition seemed to melt away
and It ordered to a third reading without seri-
Gus opposition Whether the bill will receive the
same vote on its final passage remains TO be seen
but there is every probability that attempt will
be made tomorrow TO put on the previous question
and force il to a vote The amendments offered by
Gen. Hustled provided that nothing in the
act should authorize the construction of
steam railway, crossing the track of any
steam railway in actual operation at the same
grade OF the erection OF piers or supports for any
elevated railway above railway track or the use OF
the tracks of any horse railway. Another-intended
10 protect the Elevated ROad-provided that the
Commissioners provided for it in the bill. may Tx
and determine the route routes by which any ele-
railway n actual OOpratlOQ
connect with other steam railways. Another pro-
vided that in limitations of time, set in the act for
the completion of various stages in the formation OF
these companies delays caused by legal proceedings
should not count. The remaining amendments were
merely verbal.
