and William c. De Witt. OF Brooklyn. called on
Governor Black to-day and urged that he permit
the Legislature TO consider a bin which has been
drafted that will in a measure relieve New York
City from the excess OF debt over its borrowing
capacity by separating from the city debt the
bonded Indebtedness OF the counties annexed to
New-York City and for equal taxation for tho
bonded Indebtedness in all Of the horoughs. They
estimate that the city would be relieved by this bill
OF a debt OF some 81 0rCc00
Mr. De Witt was a member Of the Commission
that drafted the greater city charter, and he told
the Governor that majority OF the charter com
rnssioners favored the enactment OF the bill Con-
troller Coler said that Governor Black did not say
that he would not consider the matter but the
Governor expressed himself two days ago as being
opposed TO the Legislature considering any subject
not referred In his message.
Later In the day Controller Coer and Mr.. De
Witt made an effort have the Senators from
New-York City confer on the matter. and II II
was agreeable them they should mportune
the Governor TO permit the Legislature to enact
the bill which had been prepared.
Owing 10 the lateness Of the session and the
brief recess that taken 1t was impossible 10
get the Senators into conference. Many Of them.
however. expressed their approval OF the measure
