GREATER NEW YORK.
The Assembly Concurs In the Senate Con-
solidation Measure.


ALBANY, Jan. 14.-With practical unan-
unity the assembly ratified the action OF
the senate and adopted the Lexow resolu-
ton providing for the appointment of a
special committee authorized to make a
most thorough investigation of the Great
er New York project and report by March
1 the most expeditions and desirable plan
for creating the imperial city. The opposi-
ton in the lower house was so small as
to be almost ridiculous. Arthur Butts, the
Tammany leader put up half hearted
fight, in which he was joined by little
more than half the minority, but on the
final vote he and every brave, except Nc
Cabe of the Ninth district voted for the
resolution.
When Il was presented Mr. Butts, who
hattled desperately against the Greater
New York bill when originally introduced,
offered a resolution providing for the ap-
pointmennt of a special committee to CON
fer with the governor and legislature Of
New Jersey with view to the annexation
of Jersey City, Newark, Hoboken, Rah-
way, Elizabeth and Perth AmbOy to New
York. A litter went around the chamber
while this proposition was being read. 1t
was repeated at intervals during a speech
in which Butts sought to convince his
hearers that he really desired Greater
New York, but that he wanted Jersey
made part of it.
Mr. O'6rady said that personally he
was in favor of the annexation of the
whole state Of New Jersey if It desired to
come into the beautiful state of New
York. He didn't think, however, that the
amendment was the proper way to go
about it. Nobody else thought so either.
The amendment was killed and the Lexow
concurrent resolution passed. The cities
committee will meet this afternoon, and
the subcommittee-the charter makers Of
Greater New YorlS-will be appointed and
its work laid out
