ALBANY. April 14.-By close call. and with
| only two votes to spare. tho Assembly PASSED
tho Speedway Repeal bill at an extra session
| tonight. The Committee on Rules advanced
the bill out of its order through the
| efforts OF Gen. Hustled and the Dem
ocratic members. Otherwise the bill would
| not have been reached. as II was ut the foot
| OF tho second reading calendar 1t was
| known this afternoon that the bill would
| come up. and there was large attendance
for an evening session. Absence was
equivalent to vote in the negative.
Us the passage OF bill requires IS affirmative
votes. There was great deal OF speech
making. Kennedy Of Syracuse cnlivened tho
debate by reading what he said was n copy OF
telegram from Park Commissioner Nathan
Strauss in opposition to the repeal bill. The
telegram reads:
J. {. De Lnrergne Albany. " r.
am in favor OF bill passed by Legislature signed
by Governor. Tho road ia an absolute necessity
1t will relieve present crowded Park roads, and instead
Of destroying will enhance the beauty Of the Park 1t
will pass through portion Of the Park that is very
little used. NATHAN STRAUSS
Mr.. Sulzer charged that the telegram was
fraud. as 1t was on sender's instead OF a re-
ceiving blank. and without any check marks.
1T is miserable subterfuge to defeat the
BILL he said.
Mr.. Kennedy said that what he was reading
from was typewriter copy.
Gen. Hustled and Mr.. FarIuhar opened tho
debate by saying that they favored the repeal
because the people and the public opinion Of
New York demanded it.
