Mr.. ATKiNsoN:

2'An. AihiNsONs
In your paper Of the llth inst l find
nm article COPIED from the Providence
'ournal purporting 10 be report Of
what was said in the General Assembly
upon The grant "f 1925 for the piece oi
ground upon which the monument 1"
Com. Perry Is placed. $" lar IA re-
swcts nv self The statement is n Ialse
one. This however should not consi-
der Of any consequence, IL It was uncon-
nected with the name OF Com. Perry,
which alone induces me to correct il.
The article represents me IA opposing
the grant. The truth is that the motion
to auihorise the Gen. Treasurer to pay
the S225 upon receiving n satisfactory
deed, was made by myself. And, as
the sum for such piece Of ground 100
feet square) was, evidently, very ex-
Orbitam one, being at the rate OF S4 900
the acre; and more for so feet than the
full value Of one whole acre Of the land !;
! thought it proper to give some reasons
for moving the grant OF such sum, which
] did by explaining the circumstances
under which the. monument had been
erected; with too much trust, on the
part of the committee, that no difficulty
would be made, before deed of the
ground could be given, there being ut
the time no person empowered to exc
cute one.
What was said by one or two others
by way of,eulogy upon the good woman
interested, / have 40 concern with. The
few subsequent remarks which ! made
were merely to correct some errors IN
point Of fact. My young friend and col
league (Mr. II. had been told, among
ether similar stories, that the whole lot
was covered with Canada thistles,--
brought in with the sea sand used about
the monument. The sand used was
fresh sand brought in barrels and dug
out Of a sand bank up the river.
II would appear from the same article,
that the House was impatient at my re-
marks, and called loudly for the question.
The truth again is, that when the few IL
nal remarks had to make were conclu-
ded, ] renewed my motion for the grant,
as the best that could be done under the
circumstances; aud it was upon that mo-
tion that the question was called for
Had it been any other than n monument
to Com. Perry, tho General Assembly
would have ordered it to be removed to
some other place. Is. HAZARD.
