fBY TELEGRAPH i1o THE TRIBUNE.l
Albany. April 9.-It was reported tonight
that the Assembly would probably pass a reso-
luton for the final Adjournment of the legislat
ure April % If such asresolution comes to
the Senate that body will probably hold 1t
week and then amend it soi as to provide for
adjournment on April 26.
If the legislature adjo,n-ns the 26th 1t
will be just one week after Mayor Van Wyck
submits peppery message vetoing the Charter
Revision bill. There is good reason to think that
Governor OdeH, in special message to the
legislature, will give his reasons for believing
that the bill will greatly improve the govern
nent Of New-York, and urge that IL be passed
over Mayor Van Wyck's veto.
The Governor thus far has not been convinced
that the favor with which he regarded the bill
has been misplaced. His attention has been
called TO various alleged errors in framing IL.
but he has not yet been able to see that they
are Of serious character. He had a confer
ence this morning with Senator Stranahan and
Assemblyman Kelsey. the chairmen of the two
committees on cities. and learned from them
that they had not had any feature of the bill
called to their attention which gravely i'm
paired its character. Nevertheless. il is papable
that the Governor is Of open mind on this
subject Of charter revision. and it be pre-
dicted that if the bill is shown to contain
desirable features he would take steps to de-
etroy them. Whether the necessary amendments
would be made this year is not clear. Possibly
immediate amendment of the charter re-
vision might not be necessary. No doubt is
felt here that Governor Oden expects to sign
the bill soon after IL comes into his hands.
Whether supplementary bills amending the
charter revision law will be passed will depend
upon the nature of the criticisms made.
Extraordinary taken with the bill be-
fore it was acted upon by the legislative
mittees. Governor Odell had a careful analysis
made for his personal use and as the result OF
that analysis the Governor accepted the work
Of the Charter Revision Commission. The chief
merit of the Charter Commissions work in the
opinion of the Governor its placing the
eponsibility for the government of New-York
upon its Mayor. by giving him the power of
moving sLbordinates throughout his term: and.
secondly, the provisions build up local gov
ernment in the boroughs by comforting upon
them greater power to make local improvements.
This part of the Revision Commissions work
has been left untouched.
Leading Republican members of the legis
lature do not feel that they have made any seri-
Gus errors in the composition of the Charter Re-
vision bi7l. and not disposed 10 make any
apologies for their action. The revision they
believe, will improve the government of New
York. and that their main aim in passing
the bill.
