Elmira Advertiser praises republican lawmakers for blocking harmful measures, crediting honest leadership under Governor Hill and Tammany Hall opposition. It commends the tax cut from 3.53 to 2.34 mills and notes the effort against the aqueduct bill and rapid transit plan.
The World argues the new aqueduct if filled with water before repairs would have collapsed, risking expenditure estimates from 823000000 to 24000000. Contractors seek about 10000000 for repairs, while the paper notes the aqueduct relied on those fixes. It cites Fassett committees as cost-effective investigations.

A compilation notes Fassett is viewed as gaining influence and popular respect from the current legislative session.
