Albany. March 11.?The Assembly to-day took up
ns a special order Senator Ellsworth's Mil ex?
empting State bonds from taxation. Mr. Arm?
strong entered Into a Vlgoruas opposition to the
measure. He began by declaring that the motivo
which Induced the drawing of the bill was the de?
sire to make a present of these bonds to a num?
ber of favored people who wire awaiting legisla
non which would penali then to purchase at a
ridiculously low figure. He denial that th.? salo
nt par of honda subject to taxation was an im?
possibility, as had been charged. He cited tbe
case of the Lake Shore Railroad. Which ha?] re?
cently refooded pan of it? Beota and ???.??????
bonds easily at a premium thai were BOI I Kempt
from taxation. Who knew but what at thll ? r??
niom'n" there were bids lying in the i'ontroller's
office? There was no donht that capital was
eag? r to Invest Ir. New-York State securities. The
Stnte was never more solvent. Most common?
wealths were bonded nearly to their constitutional
limit, but New York was a shining example to
the contrary. I
Mr. Dudley, of Niagara, spoke next. He appre?
hended that most of the opposition to th?? bill
grew out of a misunderstanding of Its provisions.
The Stnte authorities believed It SUM the only
feasible plan to place the bonds upon th?? market.
"Will the gentleman Inform me why it Is that
the financial heads of the Slat" are In such a
philanthropic mood now. when $].?""."'"?'> "f tbe
bonds have already been sold at a premi.im and
?..ii.jfot to t?x.-,tlr.n??? interrupted Mr. Armstrnnc.
"Because It was found most OlfflcuH to ,??-????
of that $1.7on.?"0 WOlth," BOSWered Mr. Dudley.
They were taken up by foreign iBVeston residing I
in Scotland. It was impossible to Und domestic
hivers."
Mr. Dudley then went on to say that because
of the trouble in floating tax ?d borals. the National
Government and the municipalities of N?w-York
and Brooklyn all exempted those Issued I.y them
from taxation. It was a mere problem In arith?
metic, and he showed flaur?s In favor of the State
selling the bonds untaxed.
Mr. Marshall, of KliiRS, favored the bill, and
maintained that it would be hard to And the holders
of bonds to collect a tax If it were imposed.
Mr Nixon cliised the debate. He termed Mr. Arm?
strong's opposition to the bill as nil right theoreti?
cally, but a failure when it was practically carried
out. I'niess these bonds were exempt from taxation
?he Controller could not sell them at par. There
area no syndicate back of th?? bill. If It was psaeed
they would be advertised thoroughly, and Individual
buyers could have as ?????! an opportunity as others,
Mr. Nixon then moved the previous question. The
hill was passed I.? .. \ote of 77 tu ES

Springfield rifles now in possession ..f th?? t'nlted
Btatea Government was next taken up. Mr. Pish,
of Madison, asked for an explanation of tie? 1?1?!.

to exchsnge some old, worthless arms for better
ones,
Mr v.ir Keuren declared that there waa more
bach "' tii- bio than was apparent mi tbe surf.

gun, which had been proved to I?.? an arm superior
t?? ai; others. Mi. Murphy complained that Mr
Y iti Keuren was not talking on the question Ululer

Bavage riti??. The chair held tin? point not well
taken stating that he would allow the greatest
latitude Mr. Fish declared thai the Springfield
lit!?? had been found wanting In many actions, par?
ticularly In the battle of I.Itile Rig Horn, where
I'lister was killed.
Mr. Abel! offered an amendmeir that ammunition
for th?? Bprlnsflled rifle should b<? exchanged for the
Remington rifl?? when the exchange ef gone was
made, and that th?? bill be recommitted, Thla waa
carried by a vote of .'<?" to 27.

MORE POWER TO THE MAYOR

th THR MA?-niNKs ORRATBR NEW YORK
POLICE COXMlBBtOM BCBEME
Albany, March 11 (Spedai).?S?natnr Wray, of
Brooklyn, to-day introduced a bill which would
arm Mayor Strong and his sin-oossors with au?
thority to remove at pleasure during their terms
the heads of any of the city departments. The
bill amends the Power of Removal act of ISO."? so
as to road as follows: "The Mayor of the city of
New-York may at pleasure remove from Oi?ice
any public officer now or hereafter holding office
by appoint men? from the Mayor of said city, ex?
cept offiVers f.ir whose removal other provision Is
mail" by the Constitution."
Th? introduction of this measure by Senator
?\Vray was looked upon with great interest hy his
fellow-Senators, they having heard that Edward
Lauterbach had already drawn up a bill remov?
ing the present Police Hoards of New-York.
Hrooklyn hnd Long Island City nnd putting in
their place a Creater New-York Police Depart?
ment, with authority over the counties of New
York. Richmond. Kings and Quecna, This meas?
ure, it ?s said, will be Introduced here to^inorrow
hy Senator Stranahan and Assemblyman Austin,
the chairmen of the Committees on Cities of the
two houses of the Legislature, ?enator Wray's
bill affoi ts only one City, while the Laut?rbach
bill sweep? away the prosont police authorities
in four eountlea Senator Wray said In ?xplana
tion of his bill:
"My purpose |n Introducing th? bill to amend
the Power of Removal act, which was passed
in IMC?, giving the Mayor of tho city of New
York power to remove any public officer for a
period of six months after he took offl<e, was
t?i do away with th?? deplorable condition of the
police Department of the city of New-York,
which has brought that Department Into dis?
credit among the people and has cr?ate?l a wide?
spread feeling of discontent, If not disgust,
and. in the Judgment of many people, has seri?
ously interfered with th?? efn< ioncy of poll.? ad?
ministration, in fact, t li if? feeling has gone so
far that a question of appointing a State Coin
mi??ion of I'..lie?, f-.r SVw-Vuflt City lia? been
mooted, ami It Is said that there Is an intention
to draw and Introduce a bill giving the Gov?
ernor the powe?" of appointing the Police Com?
missioners for the city of N?-w-York.
"There seems to be no necessity for su< h
action. On the contrary, there seems to be
every reason why It should not be tak?n. H
Would I"? an anomalous condition of thing?,
While consiilering the Creator New-York char?
ter, which gives th?/ fullest measure of home
rule to tho proposed government for that city,
to pass a law which would be subversive of
home rule, and In direct opposltlcn to that
principi? of local government which has Justly
taken such a firm hold on the minds of th??
people.
"A Republican Legislature In 1800 conferred
tho power of removal upon the Mayor, and that
act was found to be ample to effect Its purpose
without any violation whatever of the principi?
of hume rulo if it was a good tint.g at that
t:ni?? to give th. Mayor power to remove his
appoint, os, and if it was found to tie an effl
? lent means of reaching the troubl?? then exist?
ing, th? re can be no possible excuse for con?
ferring any greater or further powers on any
une else, as tha*i act provhled ample power to
do what I? necessary to be don? now. An
nmendmenl Of the let, providing for the same
power at this time, should be found amply
sufficient for the work to bo done at this time."
Senator Wray's attention was called after?
ward to the fact that his bill would give Mayor
Strong authority to remove the h?ad of every
city departmeni in New-York "I did not in?
tend to do that," he said, "and I shall have my
bill amended so that it will only offset the
Police Commissioners."

The City cpihs Committee aa Creater New-York
appeared before the joint committee of the Legis?
lature In Albany on last Tuesday and was request??.]
10 present ? brief summarizing its suggestions for
changes In the charter prepared by th?? Greater
New-York Commission, The brief was sent yester?
day to the chairman of the Joint cosanttttee al ??
? any it ?* approved by all the members of the
aa of
, I-, v.
chairman; Joseph H. cimate, Jasxee C. Carter, John ?

Qoodnow, Myer S leases, William Trovers Jerome,
.1. Prederlc Kernochan, Jam. s ?. i.u.iiow. james
w. Pryor, Albert Shaw, William Allaire Bbortl and
Simon Sterne.
In the beginning the brief declares that the city I
Club desires to urge suggestions contained In the '
eupplamentary report of Beth Low and Mayor
Strong, whl.h may be summarized as follows:
First-That the MUOletpal Assembly shall consist
of a single chamber. Two chambers in the Munici?
pal Assembly are unnecessary and cumbersome. A
single body charged with full responsibility can be .
made as dignified as the higher of two; and under
proper regulation? its pr??? ?? dings can ??? mode as
deliberate and publicas those of two clumbers
Se.ond -Thai the Bureau Of Flection?: should lie
separated from the Police D?pannent, and that th.?
Deportment shall be placed under a single bead, ?
Th?? reason for advocating th?* aeparation of the I
Bureau of Elections from the Police Department is ?
chiefly the desire to remove all ex? uae for making ?
the ?????? Hoard bipartisan.
The statement is made that the result of the hi- j
partisan law lias been disastrous and shows thai a
bipartisan Hoard becomes easily th- Instrument of
political leaders.
Third -That the Mayor's power of removal be ex?
tended over ins entire term. In advocating tbe
change proposed, rh?? city Club of New York doea
not expresa any opinion is to the wisdom of the I
general theory of municipal government which aeekl '?
to iix responslblllt) by lodging very large powers
in the hands of the Mayor. But it is thought that
he ought to have th>? power of removal during his
entire term rather than only during the tir-? *?x
month
The City club's other objections to the draft of
charter tire the following:
Fourth?That It provides Raed r. rma for almost
all the Important city officer-?
Fifth--Thai the charter provides for the affirma?
tive vote of all the members of the Hoard of F.sii
mate and Apportionment In fixing the annual
budget. It has be^n conten??-?! thai any one mem?
ber of the Hoard of {Satiniate and Apportionment
ought to have the power to check any attempt upon
the part of the other members to misuse the im?
portant power to determine the annual budget of
the illy. On the other hand, it la argued that to re?
quire ,i tinanim ?us vote upon the budget Is to place
In the hands of one man power which might be
dangerous, and which might enable a single un?
scrupulous member of the Hoard to make serious
trouble. The charter provides enough safeguards
In the process of fixing the budget without the re
qulrement that the Board shall b.? unanimous, and
a vote of four of the five members of the Hoard of
Estimate and Apportionment should suffice.
Sixth That the draft charter as a whole Is ob?
scure, confused and Inharmonious Tin? full force
of this criticism could be made apparent only by a
detailed statement which ?t would ??? extremely
laborious to make and tedious to r> ?.;
Attention is drawn In the brief to several sections
by way of illustration.
