Strong's approval 1t may become law In
few days Various Assemblymen expressed
preference for the orlgina Committee OF Seventy
bill giving President Jerolomap Of the Board OF
Aldermen the power Of removal should he be-
come Mayor but thought 1t best to adopt the
amended bill at once.
As promptly as possible after the opening OK
the session Mr.. Lawson, In accordance with the
notice he had given yesterday, moved suspen-
sion Of the rules as % pass the Power OF ne'
moval bill at once. This was adopted, ahd theh
Mr. Lawson further moved to concur In the
Senate amendments. Mr.. Malby opened the
speech-makng, saying:

State of NewYork suddenly amended me me Dill n1ht

the same time the Mayor was, and on the same
pprovement on present conditions and shall vote
for 1T. although disapproving the amendments ana
the acticn OF The Senate.
Mr. Foley fairly reveiled in his opportunity to
taunt the majority on its change Of position.

he said The Senate had this bill from January
% to yesterday in committee. / don't know but
il was carried along the corridor to this cham
her by the echoes of the great reform meeting
In New-York on MONDAY night. 1t took II only
twelve minutes to get over here, and three MIN
utes later typewriter resolution was intro

Mr. Malby that it Is most hdmating for this
Assembly to have to 90 down on It's knees 70
the Senate 1t was also Illuminating position
in which the leader Of the House was placed

bandwagon."
Mr.. OGrady announced that he was for every
bill that the Committee Of Seventy sent to AL
bany and Mr.. Foey snapped him up on this oy
asking:
VIII the gentleman stick to that when the Lexow
bills come over here and will re a.so insist on CIV
ing the President Of the Board Of Aldermen the
power of removal if the Mayor dies?
"All that will say" retorted Mr.. oGrady
craftily. "is that reported the Committee OF
Seventy bill favoraby. Our duty Is TO pass
legislation as it is before us. Mayor Strong has
said that he is satisfied with the amendments
and wants the bill passed at cnce'
Ex-Judge Stephen S. Bake. of New-York. spoke
against the BILL quoting ex-senator j. Sloat Fas-

Mr. Hennessy poked fun at Mr.. O'Grady and
suggested that the citizen from Tioga should
perfect his bills before having the Assembly pass
