Attorney General made the point that the con-
stitution undoubtedly meant 10 allow the Mayor
fifteen days from the time he received bills. and so
he had day two OF Ieeway.

LRy Telegraph to The Tribune. l

Albany, May Ex-Governor Hughes signed to-
night the Sheridan bill authorizing the Board Of
Estimate of New York City to convey in perpetuity
TO the New York Central surface and sub-surface
rights TO important streets in The Bronx, in
Guiding a strip along the western boundary Of
Bronx Park The railroad wants to straighten its
tracks and acquire station facilities.
This measure has been severely criticised, and
was roughly handled during its career in the Leg
islature Most of the censure was directed to the
sections providing for compensation to the city.
The Board of Estimate must agree with the rail-
road company the compensation, which, under
the law may be either pecuniary compensation.
or lands rights interests or easements therein. or
rights easements or privileges in streets. avenues

dered" TO the city. Or the consideration or COM
pensation may be work or labor done or performed
or materials furnished for benefit of the city
of New York or of the New York Botanical Gar
den in carving out and into effect any plans and
profles agreed upon and approved as herein pro-
vided"
Senator Schulz declared that this, in effect. meant
that the city must accept the railroads terms
Phe Governor said of the bill:
This bill authorizes the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment of the city of New York TO make
certain grants to the railroad company to enable II
to make needed improvements at specified points
on It's line and has been approved by the Mayor Of
the city The compensation to be paid for the
grants is TO be determined by the Board of Estimate
and Apportonment With regard to the improve
ments desired and the advisability of the bill the
Public Service Commission Of the 1st District ad-
vises follows:
We have considered carefully the desirability Of
these three improvements and have concluded that
the objects are mertorious in each case. The bill
is permissive Under it the Board of Estimate can
make such terms as TO payments or otherwise as
II sees fit Last year a bill of somewhat the same
sort was introduced that contemplated the placing
of a loop at Mott Haven This point aroused con-
siderable opposition. and there was some criticism
upon 1t in the commission. The commission took
no official action IT. however. Some persons have
criticised the bill this year the ground that 1t
would allow the construction of the same loop 1t
is our opinion that this is and that the
street rights referred 10 Mott Haven are suf-
fcient only for the better separation of tracks at
the crOssovers and the Introduction of needed new
crossings.
