Vetoes Overridden in New York Senate Action
Albany June 5 three veto messages of Mayor McClellan were overridden by the Senate, including the Conklin bill restricting borough presidents from voting in the New York City Board of Aldermen. Grady called the bill indefensible yet it passed 30 to 17. The Grady measure to reserve part of the Hall of Records for the Commissioner of Records of New York County was repassed 29 to 11 after the Mayor veto. A Fowler bill on court clerks related to NYC water project work was reconsidered and passed 27 to 18 over the Mayor’s veto amid charges of graft.
