Mayor Faces Rebuff As Legislature Repasses Vetoes
Albany June 12 Mayor McClellan fails to win favors from the State Legislature this year as vetoed measures are repassed. Tammany Democrats attack the pushcart bill, defeated by a wide margin, despite Assemblyman Robinson's efforts. Pushcarts, argued to clog streets and hinder the Fire Department, may be owned by corporations or wealthy individuals. Assemblymen Harawitz and Eagleton provide comic interlude with a fruit basket on Harawitz’s desk. Vote shows a strong negative result with little chance of passage this session.

Transit commission faces potential suit delaying subway contracts
A Rapid Transit Commission member warned that a taxpayer suit could test the constitutionality of the new public utilities law after the Governor names a new commission. The action could extend the old board and allow bids for the Fourth Avenue tri borough route to proceed, delaying contract awards by a few months.
Subway Commission Move Seen Aimed at Speeding Coney Island Line
The Rapid Transit Commission may be created to hasten work on the Coney Island subway, not delay it. Governor appointed the commission, and the Court of Appeals would likely not uphold a challenge to the new Public Utilities Commission. Controller Metz said he does not expect an injunction against the commission and doubts rumors of delays in the Fourth Avenue subway.
