ALBANY. March There was more trouble
In the Senate to-day over the Bradley bill to
leRislate out Of ONCE the Brooklyn Bridge
trustees and to give the present Republican
Mayor the power to appoint new bridge trus-
tees Senator Cofrey said that the only object
Of the bill was to increase the patronage OF the
Republican Mayor. The present trustees are
men OF high business and social standing. and
the only objection to them Is that they are Dem
ocrats.
Senator Cantor objected TO removing the
bridge trustees from ONCE for political rea-
sons. He said that Senator Bradley had made
insinuations OF dishonesty against the trus-
tees These charges should be investi gated.
and II they are true the officials should be pun
ished.
Senator Bradley said that he did not accuse
the trustees OF stealing. but OF incompetenoy.
The bridge was too extensively run and too
high salaries and commissions were paid. II
the trustees allowed the public money to be
stolen they were. In HE judgment, as much
thieves as II they had robbed the treasury Of
the money themselves.
