CITY MEASURES AT ALBANY
GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT WILL PROB
ABLY ACT ON MANY BEFORE HE
GOES ON HIS WESTERN TRIP

Albany, April 30 (SpeciaD-Governor Roose-
welt, it is expected, will act on a large number
OF New-York City measures of Importance this
week before his departure for the West. While
he has signed few New-York City measures
since the Legislature adjourned most of the
bills he has signed have affected the interests of
some other city or locality in the State or they
have been general measures
1t is probable that the members of the New
York Charter Revision Commission will be
nounced early in the week. Senator Platt has
been consulted by the Governor about the mem
bershfp of this Commission as he was consulted
about the makeup of the Greater New York
Commission. and therefore it was thought to be
only right that he should be asked to suggest
some persons to correct the many serious errors
committed in preparing the present charter. In
that earlier Commission politics pervaded the
work to greater or less degree. and it is hoped
that this will not mar the work of the Charter
Revision Commission.
measure on which the Governor may act this
week is the Davis Compromise School BILL" in
creasing the salaries of all the schoolteac chers
in New-York City. The Governor has given
hearing on this bill, and has listened to strong
arguments for and against it,
Another bill under the Governors cpnsidera-
tion is that which abolishes the garbage works
on Barren Island. A hearing has also been given
on this, and the Governor has been informed
officially by the city authorities that millions
must be expended on the construction of garbage
crematories in the bOroughs of Manhattan and
Brooklyn if it should be signed by him.
