 Abstract We prove the estimate
 $$
 \|\sigma_{\mu}^{\prime}(x,f)-
 \tilde\sigma_{\mu}^{\prime}(x,f)\|_{L_p(G)}\le
 C\|f\|_{BV(G)}\cdot\mu^{1-1/p},
 $$
 where $2\le p<+\infty$, and $\sigma_{\mu}(x,f),\tilde 
 \sigma_{\mu}(x,f)$ are the partial sums of spectral expansions of a function 
 $f(x)\in BV(G)$, corresponding to arbitrary non-negative
 self-adjoint extensions of the operators $\Cal Lu=-u^{\prime\prime}+q(x)u$, 
 $\tilde{\Cal L}u=-u^{\prime\prime}+\tilde q(x)u$ $(x\in G)$ respectively; the 
 operators are defined on an arbitrary bounded interval $G\subset \Bbb R$.
